Overview
InstallAnywhere is the leading multiplatform development solution for software producers who need to deliver a professional and consistent installation experience for cross-platform desktop and server applications. From a single project file and build environment, InstallAnywhere enables developers to create reliable installations for the broadest range of current platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX , HP-UX, and IBM iSeries.
If you develop applications for multiple platforms, trying to manually create installers for each one is a time-consuming and error-prone process. It often leads to release delays and installation errors that frustrate end users and increase your support costs.
InstallAnywhere makes it easy for even the most novice installation developer to create professional installers for virtually any platform. It is available in two editions (Enterprise and Standard) and in two languages (English and Japanese).
