| Extensive Platform Support |
| |
 |
InstallAnywhere makes installing and running
multiplatform software as easy as installing
and running platform-specific software. InstallAnywhere
supports platform-specific installation destinations
(Windows directory, /usr/local/bin, Mac OS X
Dock, etc.), is compliant with the requirements
of the "Designed for Windows XP" and
"Built for Mac OS X" certifications,
and integrates seamlessly with Linux RPM and
the Windows Service manager |
|
|
| One Project - All Platforms |
|
InstallAnywhere's Advanced Designer allows
you to easily build installers for every platform
you support in one project. This allows developers
to speed development, lower installation costs,
and increase customer satisfaction by providing
a consistent deployment experience on every
system they use. |
|
|
| Localized Designer |
|
InstallAnywhere's developer environment,
including the six-step Project Wizard and the
Advanced Designer, is available in localized
language versions. Developers who speak English,
French, German, and Japanese can author multiplatform
installers using their native language. These
installers support the full range of platforms
and all 29 installer languages supported by
InstallAnywhere. |
|
|
| Localized Installers |
|
InstallAnywhere comes with pre-translated
installer panels in 29 languages, making it
easy to localize your installers. InstallAnywhere
supports the following locales: Basque, Brazilian
Portuguese, Catalan, Simplified Chinese, Traditional
Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish,
French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish,

| Installers Run in Silent, Console, or GUI
Modes |
|
InstallAnywhere provides the ability to run
installers in silent, console, or full graphical
mode, according to the desire of the developer
and the needs of the system. InstallAnywhere
provides a superior end-user experience with
features such as:
- A Swing-based UI that provides unlimited panel
customization and branding capabilities
- Installers that automatically assume the look
and feel of the target platform
- Automatic installation label generation
- GIF and JPEG image support

|
| Handles Platform-Specific Details |
|
InstallAnywhere has all of the platform-specific
functionality that you'll ever need. InstallAnywhere
reads and sets system environment variables,
creates aliases, shortcuts and links, executes
platform-specific executables and shell commands,
installs to system-specific locations (such
as the Windows Start Menu or the Mac OS X Dock),
and registers and installs OS-dependent libraries
(such as DLLs and shared libraries). On Windows,
InstallAnywhere manages Windows Services and
reads and writes from the registry. RPM integration
on Linux means that installers function with
the operating system's package management. |
|
|
| Merge Modules and Templates |
|
Merge Modules and Templates speed development
of installers by creating standard re-usable
components which can be easily integrated with
new projects. Merge Modules allow for the easy
creation of suite installers, subinstallers,
and templates, delivering reusability from project
to project, within development teams, across
the enterprise, or from third-party providers.
Templates are used to create uniform looks and
feels for your installer projects and would
be ideal for companies with multiple software
products. |

|
|
| Intuitive, Easy to Learn and Use |
|
|
InstallAnywhere's intuitive and well-designed
user interface allows you to build installers
quickly and efficiently. Create a basic installer
with the six-step Project Wizard in less than
five minutes or use the Advanced Designer's
powerful graphical interface to build customized
installers that control every facet of the deployment
process. |

|
|
| Ideal for Server Side and Web Services
Deployment |
|
|
InstallAnywhere is the perfect tool to build
installers for complex server solutions. The
extensive JavaBeans-based open API delivers
unlimited customization flexibility. Other actions
allow installers to add data to existing XML
files on the end-user's system, modify XML files,
or parse and extract data from XML files. Additionally,
XML files can be stored on the end-user's file
system, installed during deployment, or can
be accessed from archive files (such as ZIPs,
JARs, WARs, or EARs). XML files can be transformed
using XSL, simplifying the deployment of EJBs
into J2EE application servers. InstallAnywhere
also integrates with ANT, a Java build tool
from the Apache foundation, making it easy to
perform advanced tasks such as EJB deployment,
J2EE application server management, and access
to FTP and Telnet servers. |

|
| LaunchAnywhere |
|
|
Zero G's exclusive LaunchAnywhere technology
makes it possible to launch Java applications
on Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix systems as if
they were platform-specific applications. With
LaunchAnywhere, the end-user double-clicks on
an icon (on Windows) or types a simple command
(on Unix) to start a Java application. |
|
|
| |
|
| Automatic Java VM Installation |
|
|
With the diverse Java Virtual Machines currently
in use, you need to make sure that your application
runs only on your tested and qualified Java
VM. InstallAnywhere bundles an application-specific
"private" Java Virtual Machine and
installs it as part of your application's deployment,
ensuring that your end-users have the Java VM
you selected. InstallAnywhere deploys all industry
standard Java VMs, including those from Sun,
IBM, HP, and Apple. |
