                        <description>InstallAware is first to market with an IDE targeting Microsoft&#039;s open source WiX platform. WiX is used internally by Microsoft teams to build world-class installers such as Microsoft Office. Until today, WiX remained hard to use, as it did not provide a GUI but only command line tools. Now with the new WiXAware IDE by InstallAware, developers around the world can use the same technology that Microsoft teams internally use to build software installers.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[San Francisco, CA (PRWeb) December 4, 2006 - InstallAware Software Corporation has launched WiXAware, the first and only commercial IDE for building software installers based on Microsoft&#039;s WiX (Windows Installer XML) technology. WiX is known as being Microsoft&#039;s first open source project, and contains a command line compiler and linker for parsing XML source files and building Windows Installer setup packages. Internal Microsoft teams use WiX to build world-class installers, such as the Microsoft Office installer. However, the native WiX toolkit as maintained by Microsoft and the open source community is purely command line, which can make it difficult to work with. Until today, there was no industry-strength IDE for WiX.


 
&quot;Our customers demanded a simpler way to work with WiX projects, and we delivered,&quot; says Agustin Berge, Director of Development at InstallAware. &quot;Formerly industry leading brands like InstallShield or Wise have yet to release a WiX tool, despite the overwhelming demand for a WiX IDE. We have beaten both these companies to market with our WiXAware tool, the first commercial-grade IDE that makes using WiX second nature.&quot; 

The WiXAware IDE features two main views. The first of these is an XML editor, full with modern conveniences such as code completion, code folding, syntax highlighting, multi level undo/redo, and intelligent tool tips. This dedicated XML editor enhances productivity by recognizing all WiX language elements, suggesting and auto-completing WiX tags, and accelerating the coding cycle. 

The second view of the WiXAware IDE is called the design view, and parses the underlying XML project into a completely visual presentation. Similar to programming languages like Visual Basic and C#, where applications are rapidly prototyped using drag-drop controls on visual design surfaces, WiXAware lets developers use any of the 23 pre-built design views to generate XML code. Software installer settings such as files to install, shortcuts to create, and so on can be designed visually, with the WiXAware IDE automatically generating the underlying XML source code for WiX. Any existing WiX XML source code file may be opened in the WiXAware IDE, and inspected/updated visually.

The developer has complete freedom in switching between these two main IDE views, and both the designers and the XML source code are always kept in sync. &quot;WiXAware is the only IDE to offer visual dialog editing for WiX at this time,&quot; adds Berge. &quot;This complex task is made much easier by using our visual form editor, which of course emits the necessary WiX code automatically in the background. Our IDE also features other helpful tools and wizards, such as a Custom Action wizard. Another inherently difficult Windows Installer challenge is solved using our step-by-step Custom Action wizard, which again produces the correct WiX XML code seamlessly.&quot;

&quot;In keeping with the InstallAware tradition, we are once again launching a disruptive innovation,&quot; says Simon King, CEO of InstallAware Software Corporation. &quot;When we first released InstallAware in 2004, it was unmatched in its features like partial web deployment, MSIcode scripting for Windows Installer, and 50% better compression. While our competition has yet to respond to these innovations introduced almost three years ago, we are taking our offerings to the next level, and offering a brand-new IDE for WiX. Now developers will be able to use the same technology that Microsoft uses to build their own software installers internally.&quot;

WiXAware is available today for immediate online ordering, priced at $499 for new users, and at... To read the press release in full goto http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/12/prweb486492.htm]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 6, 2006 -- InstallAware Software Corporation has released InstallAware 6.0, a setup authoring tool for ISVs and enterprises deploying products, patches, updates, and device drivers. InstallAware 6.0 creates Windows Installer setup packages with support for the latest technologies, including Microsoft .NET 2.0, Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005 Service Pack 1, Windows Vista, 64 bit operating systems, and Driver Installation Frameworks 2.01.

&#8220;A significant achievement in version 6 is the InstallAware Web Update mechanism,&#8221; says Tod Curtis, Vice President of Research and Development at InstallAware. &#8220;It&#8217;s demonstrative of the design philosophy behind all of InstallAware. Fully standards compliant&#8211; it looks and feels just like Windows Update. Fully customizable &#8211; developers can edit every update dialog, and tweak the update logic. Easy to use &#8211; works out of the box without surprises. And, it is the first solution to market with complete source code for the update client. The Web Update client was written entirely in InstallAware&#8217;s MSIcode scripting language, which is a testament to the power and richness of MSIcode.&#8221;

MSIcode is InstallAware&#8217;s fourth-generation language for creating Windows Installer databases, without requiring programming skills. Still unmatched in the industry two years after its debut, MSIcode is a human-readable script, with conditional statements and branching execution. The simplicity of MSIcode significantly lowers the barrier to entry for Windows Installer development, a task with a sharp learning curve. &#8220;Anyone can author a setup in InstallAware using MSIcode,&#8221; adds Curtis, &#8220;and the beauty of InstallAware is that when a setup is built, the intelligent and human-readable MSIcode is automatically converted into a logo-certifiable, standards-compliant Windows Installer database, without requiring too much effort on the part of the developer.&#8221;

Also new to InstallAware 6 is Driver Installation Frameworks 2.01 (DIFx) support, hybrid 64/32 bit installations from a single setup file, the ability to minimize setups to the system tray and show message balloons, Windows Task Scheduler support, and detection of Virtual PC and VMware virtual machines. The setup user interface now supports building tabbed dialogs, like those used in the Office 2007 installer. The IDE now offers intelligent warnings and tips as MSIcode is being built, avoiding common setup authoring pitfalls. A new sample project illustrates detecting and connecting to instances of Microsoft SQL Server locally and on the network, together with pre-built dialogs that enumerate and test a server connection. Another new sample for driver installations simulates connecting a virtual &#8220;toaster&#8221; to the computer and automatically installs its plug-and-play drivers, implemented entirely in MSIcode.

InstallAware 6&#8217;s own setup serves as showcase for InstallAware&#8217;s advanced technology. Users choose the product edition they wish to install directly in the setup wizard, and setup dynamically defines the corresponding product features. The minimum setup option works without requiring an Internet connection, and additional features are downloaded on-demand when selected. The user is surveyed, again directly within the install wizard, both when installing and uninstalling, and the results are seamlessly submitted online.

&#8220;We take the rocket science out of Windows Installer and software installations,&#8221; says Jeremy Garrett, Vice President of Marketing at InstallAware. &#8220;Why hassle with an overly complex product when it...
