Advanced Installer 23.0 Release Notes

On August 27th, 2025 Caphyon Ltd. is proud to announce the release of Advanced Installer 23.0 in Free, Professional, Enterprise and Architect editions. This release is available for download on the Advanced Installer website.

We’ve been working hard over the summer here at Advanced Installer to ship a release packed with new features and improvements to help make your return to work as smooth as possible.

Starting with this version, you can use the new Suite Installer to bundle multiple applications into a single, fully customizable installer that matches your brand identity. This provides your users with a private, store-like experience, allowing them to select which applications to install.

This release is a major update for all Enterprise users.

Beginning with version 23.0, the MSIX Editor is now available in Enterprise edition. To use it, make sure you’ve updated to the latest version. The MSIX Editor lets you automatically detect and apply PSF fixups, regardless of which tool was used to create the original MSIX package.

If you have an active Architect subscription or maintenance plan, you now get free access to PacKit Plus for one year starting with this version. To use PacKit Plus, just log in to your PacKit account using the same credentials you use for Advanced Installer.
