Advanced Installer 6.1 Release Notes
On December 18th, 2007 Caphyon Ltd. is proud to announce the release of Advanced Installer 6.1 in Free, Professional, Enterprise and Architect editions. This release is available for download on the Advanced Installer website.
Starting with the 6.1 version you can create unified 32/64-bit installers for simpler deployment and lower maintenance costs. The installers run as 32-bit on 32-bit platforms and as 64-bit on 64-bit platforms.
