The best thing about InstallAnywhere (IA) is that this is the single tool which can be use to create installers for multiple operating systems. There are various tools available in the market for installer creation, which either support a single operating system or lack robustness and easy to use. IA had lots of features which can be used directly to fulfill your installer requirements. Advanced functionality can be implemented in Java which is again a robust programming language.
