The 8.1 release enriches Advanced Installer's theme support with Theme Variations. Alternative backgrounds, colors, frames and UI elements provided for each built-in theme offer countless stylistic variations able to tweak your favorite design to perfection.

The first part of your application experience, the installer User Interface is also the way your users start interacting and making decisions about how they want to work with your product. This is why Advanced Installer strives to create beautiful, easy to use and powerful User Interfaces.

Often you need to create distinct install packages of your products, configured for different platforms or editions. Advanced Installer makes this extremely easy with its integrated build system which allows you to generate multiple separate installers from a single project.

In an increasingly globalized world, customers demand software products adapted to their culture and environment, starting from the installation process up to the application itself. Localizing setups in Advanced Installer is just as easy as authoring your package and selecting the desired languages for your project.
