Industry-Leading Multiplatform Software Installation Solution
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Zero G Software today announced
general availability of InstallAnywhere 7, the latest version of its
award-winning multi-platform software deployment solution. With a host
of new features that allow the intelligent installation of software
components and make collaboration between different development teams
even easier, InstallAnywhere once again sets the standard for
multiplatform software deployment.
"As the industry leader in multiplatform software deployment, Zero G
continues its commitment to the cross-platform software development
community by adding support for the latest versions of Java and
Windows Installer," said Eric N. Shapiro, founder and CEO of Zero G.
"New features in InstallAnywhere 7 also make it easy for different
applications to share components when installed, ensuring consistent
functionality while also reducing installation footprint. With
InstallAnywhere 7, today's diverse development teams can collaborate
together by combining components into individual product offerings and
product suites."
InstallAnywhere 7 allows developers to speed development, lower
installation costs, and increase customer satisfaction by providing a
consistent deployment experience on every platform. Over seven new
platforms are supported, including the latest versions of SuSE 9,
RedHat Enterprise Server 4.0 and Fedora, Solaris 10, Mac OS X Tiger.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms are supported, such as AMD-64,
Itanium, and PowerPC. InstallAnywhere 7 continues to support virtually
every other platform as well, including AIX, HP-UX, NetWare, IRIX,
Tru64, FreeBSD, and z/OS. For software publishers and producers who
require Windows logo certification, InstallAnywhere 7 can now produce
Windows Installer (MSI) packages automatically, through integration
with Zero G's InstallAnywhere.NET.
"PTC has been using InstallAnywhere Enterprise Edition since version
4.5," said John Huston, VP Technology of product lifecycle management
software provider, PTC. "We chose InstallAnywhere because of its
flexibility and extensibility, support for both Windows and UNIX
platforms, and the ability to localize the installers for multiple
languages. The installer IDE, the ability to develop custom installer
UIs and actions in Java, as well as to perform scripting with Ant
allows us to meet the installation requirements of both our server and
desktop applications of our Windchill solutions(r)."
Other new InstallAnywhere 7 features include:
-- Java J2SE 5.0 support: InstallAnywhere can automatically install the
J2SE 5.0 Java Virtual Machine for client and server applications
-- Windows Installer (MSI) build option: Generate Windows Installer (MSI)
packages alongside native Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X installers
-- Shared Components: Components can be shared between different
applications, ensuring consistency and reducing footprint
-- Cross Product Dependencies: Installers can check prerequisites and
