InstallAnywhere

InstallAnywhere gives software developers a quick and easy way to author professional software installations for Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, IBM i, Mac OS X, Windows, and more. It saves you time by creating a single project file that generates a reliable installer for each platform you target.

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).
