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.

Detect and Manage Setups on Virtual Machines: Now InstallAware can check your target system and detect whether the operating system is running on a virtual machine. A simple checkbox lets you limit distributions to physical machines.

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

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

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

Reusable Scripts: Reference separate blocks of MSIcode using the Include Scripts command, which allows you to build a collection of setup functions that can be used in many different setup projects.
