You are invited to join the upcoming webinar "The most common packaging mistakes that developers make. And how to avoid them." where Bogdan Mitrache, Product Manager Advanced Installer, will show us how to create professional installation packages and deliver a customer-winning experience.

“Your package is not digitally signed”.. “The certificate is not installed on your machine”.. “A new package is already installed..”

In 2018, Microsoft delivered a breakthrough packaging technology to enable a flawless application packaging process, including enhanced features to help IT Pros and Developers carry out updates and customizations in a more reliable way.

Starting with version 17.3, Advanced Installer natively supports Device Guard Signing. This feature is of most use for the vendors to prepare their software product installers to be used in enterprise environments.

Every new MSIX package we build allows us to learn more and improve the tools we build. The whole Advanced Installer team got involved.

Will you be at Microsoft Ignite this November? Because we will definitely be there.

As a Microsoft partner, Advanced Installer supports all the official Windows versions, and we will continue to do so with every new update, but as the platform evolves, so does our application. Evolution always implies that some things are left behind to make room for better solutions.

This year our team was invited to hold a technical session at Microsoft Ignite, showcasing our latest MSIX support. You can find the original recording of the session and the slides on the conference website, or you can watch our edited version in the video included in this article.

If you are attending BUILD, in Seattle, visit the Advanced Installer booth on the expo floor. We’ve got some great new tools to showcase from our latest release. Together with our Microsoft colleagues, we’ve worked hard over the last couple of months to help you get your desktop application in the Windows Store and reach new users.

Every application is a puzzle for IT professionals to figure out when it comes to a customized, silent deployment. What switches will the setup accept? How can automatic updates be disabled? How can shortcuts be managed? How can system restarts be prevented?

As a Visual Studio Industry Partner, we at Caphyon are always working together with Microsoft to improve the Visual Studio experience of our users. To see how Visual Studio and Advanced Installer work together check out the links at the bottom of the page.

If you're a software vendor doing multiple releases a year, you're bound to hit (and hate) this problem - false-positive detection by antivirus solutions. It's just one of the neverending problems of ISVs that's eating a chunk of our time, without any ROI.

For the 5th year in a row the Advanced Installer team is proud to sponsor the AppManagEvent conference. This is the place to be if you want to learn more about application packaging, virtualization, deployment and management, desktop management, mobile device management and privilege management.

Come and talk to us in Paris on October 4-5, at Microsoft experiences'16. You can find us at the ExperTeam booth, our official partner in France.

Microsoft has announced starting this summer App-V will be a built-in Windows feature. This brings desktop virtualization to a new level. If you want to learn more on the topic from the industry experts join us in Boston at BriForum 2016, between July 26-28th.

Our team just came back from London. We were extremely happy to be one of the sponsors for what is probably the best conference on desktop virtualization from Europe, BriForum.

A vulnerability in all Windows OSes allows a malicious DLL to hijack your EXE installer upon launch. While the EXE shows your legitimate digital signature the attacker DLL will be able to run in the background.

For the 4th year in a row the Advanced Installer team is proud to sponsor the AppManagEvent conference. This is the place to be if you want to learn more about application packaging, virtualization, deployment and management, desktop management, mobile device management and privilege management.

A bug in Windows Installer expands environment variables present in a folder's name and stops the installation with an error, due to an invalid folder name.

Once again, the Advanced Installer Team will participate at Microsoft Ignite (ex-TechEd). Visit us at booth #331 and you'll be able to speak directly to the engineers that are building Advanced Installer. Besides the free lessons you can also get our free Advanced Installer swags.
