InstallBuilder is a multiplatform installer development tool that simplifies packaging and delivering installers for cross-platform software. Here are some key features:
- Cross-Platform Support: InstallBuilder allows you to create dynamic, professional installers for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, and other platforms from a single project file and build environment.
- Built-In Debugger: Easily troubleshoot your application installation process by identifying and correcting issues during installer development. You can view and interactively edit installer variables at runtim\
e, perform step-by-step execution, and recover from unexpected errors.
- Auto-Update Functionality: Keep users running the latest version of your software by delivering updates directly to them. Regular updates enhance customer satisfaction and reduce support costs.
- Language Independence: Install applications written in any language, including Java, PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, C/C++, Flash, Flex, and .NET/Mono.
- Optimized Installers: InstallBuilder generates smaller and faster installers compared to Java-based alternatives. It doesn’t require bundling a Java Runtime or self-extraction, reducing download, startup, and \
installation time.
- Multiple Installation Modes: Deploy in any environment using GUI modes (native look-and-feel), text mode (console-based and remote installations), and silent/unattended mode for large-scale server deployment.
- Desktop Integration: Provides native look and feel on Windows, OS X, KDE, and Gnome platforms.
In summary, InstallBuilder streamlines the process of creating cross-platform installers and ensures efficient software distribution and update.
