Exclusive! Set up 64 Bit and 32 Bit Systems with the Same Installer
Detect and support ia64 and x64 systems including Itanium, AMD64, and EM64T. Only InstallAware allows you to ship a single hybrid MSI for both your 32 bit and 64 bit customers.

Exclusive! First MSI Builder to Support Windows 8
InstallAware is the only installer with built-in Aero Glass setup themes that fully comply with the new Aero Wizard specifications. InstallAware is the only installer that can directly pin shortcuts to the Windows Taskbar and force unpin them from the Windows 8 Start Screen!

Exclusive! 1-Click Patching
Select your old and new setups, click Build Patch, and InstallAware automatically generates a native MSP-file that is packaged using advanced compression.

Exclusive! Refined User Interface
Deliver setups that display the latest visual themes. 17 unique dialog themes, non-rectangular setup windows, plus Flash and HTML billboards, make your setups more interesting and more interactive.

Exclusive! WebAware Installation Technology
Reduce download size by removing technology dependencies (such as the .NET Framework) or rarely used features from your main setup file. The main setup will download them seamlessly from the web as needed. Files required by the minimum configuration are included in the main package, which installs without a web connection.

Extend Setups with Custom Programs
Run any program as part of your setup, without requiring a particular program location or having to install the program together with your setup. Run before/after your install/uninstall, or even from the finish dialog.

Five Minutes to an Installer
Build setups in minutes using wizards, templates, and samples. Then make refinements using InstallAware’s intuitive task-based views.

Java Installation Support
Build Java application installations, with support for preinstalling Java Virtual Machines and runtime environments on Windows systems. Complete project sample included.

Exclusive! Simplified Installation Wizard Based Windows Installer MSI Development
InstallAware’s powerful MSIcode simplifies setup development by transparently managing all of your Windows Installer conditions, installation sequences and parameters using a concise and human-readable setup language. Drop-in setup actions are configured using dialogs, without requiring programming skills. MSIcode builds a standard Windows Installer database package that fully supports advertising, install-on-demand, elevated privilege installation, and resiliency.

Exclusive! Mirrored Code and Visual Development
InstallAware’s advanced development tools include wizards, templates, drag-and-drop editing, and refined task views-with the added benefit of immediate MSIcode generation. Start a project in seconds in with visual tools, then switch to the Code View to add branching logic, variables, and advanced configuration options. Unlike InstallShield’s isolated script and visual environments, when you modify settings in one view, the other view changes instantly.

Exclusive! One-Click Technology Preinstalls
Deploy technology modules and runtimes, such as Microsoft SQL Express 2008 R2, from your setup in a single step. Any related preinstalls are added to your project automatically. Plus, the preinstall sequence branches by platform.

Exclusive! Multi-Core Compression
InstallAware uses all available processor cores during the build process to reduce build times. You have the latest in hardware – why let your software hold you down? Build twice as fast with a dual core processor, and four times as fast with a quad core processor. Scale up to more cores effortlessly and automatically.

Exclusive! Superior Compression
Reduce the size of your setups and download packages by up to 5x with the LZMA compression algorithm and BCJ2 compression pre-processors. Only InstallAware provides advanced compression for Windows Installer setups.

Add facial recognition and biometric identification features to your applications. FaceSDK is a multi-platform library enabling Microsoft Visual C++, C#, VB.NET, Java, and Delphi developers implement fast and precise face recognition and identification in their applications. Working in 32-bit and 64-bit systems, FaceSDK is used to build Web, Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS and Android applications, and enables face-based biometric authentication on still images and real-time video streams.

FaceSDK offers fast and precise face recognition and identification. Its consistent recognition rates in any lighting conditions and its ability to be used in conjunction with any webcam make FaceSDK a leader in biometric authentication systems. The SDK works with large and small still images, and offers true real-time support by recognizing and identifying faces in video streams. The innovative video recognition algorithms implement true motion-based video identification, automatically recognizing and tagging all faces encountered in a video stream with no prior enrolment required.

FaceSDK utilizes today’s multiple-core, multi-CPU computing to the limit. This and other performance optimizations lead to dramatically increased performance, allowing surefooted identification and recognition of 66 facial features in real time.

SDK is loaded with features and comes with a host of samples in a variety of programming languages, allowing Web and desktop developers implement advanced face recognition and identification tasks in a matter of minutes. FaceSDK has been used by the entertainment industry and security specialists, software vendors, and developers of graphic suites to automate a variety of face identification and facial feature recognition tasks, including hands-free authentication and logon systems. Real-time biometric authentication systems can quickly and easily be built around FaceSDK. A variety of photo processing use FaceSDK as their face recognition engine.
