1. DATASHEET
InstallAnywhere 2013
Create multiplatform installations for physical, virtual and cloud environments
If you develop multiplatform applications, relying
on homemade installation scripts can cause serious
problems. Creating setups for every platform you
target is a time-consuming and error-prone process,
and it often leads to release delays and installation
errors that frustrate end users and increase your
support costs.
InstallAnywhere is the leading multiplatform
installation development solution for application
producers who need to deliver a professional
and consistent installation experience for physical,
virtual and cloud environments. From a single
project file and build environment, InstallAnywhere
creates reliable installations for on-premises
platforms–Windows, Linux, Apple OS X, Solaris,
AIX, HP-UX, IBM iSeries–and enables you to
take existing and new software products to a
virtual and cloud infrastructure.
Flexera Software has set the standard for
strategic installation solutions–InstallShield and
InstallAnywhere–delivering unmatched experience
and knowledge for application producers and
making it easy for your enterprise customers to
deploy and manage your applications when,
where and how they are needed by streamlining
the installation process.
Reduce Software Development Time
InstallAnywhere enables even novice installation
developers to create professional, customized
setups for virtually any platform. It comes with a
Project Wizard that helps you build an installation
project that can install your software on multiple
platforms. No matter how complex your application,
InstallAnywhere gives you the tools to create reliable
setups. It has powerful customization options,
accessibility support, and advanced installation
configuration options that make everything from
simple projects to the most complex server software
deployments manageable.
Impress End Users with Customized Installations
Installation is your customers’ first impression of
your product. Make it a great one with
InstallAnywhere. You can use custom graphics,
animation, and transparent images to create
an installation experience that matches your
software’s branding. InstallAnywhere can
automatically localize your installation text in
31 different languages.

to create our installers
on the same day
that I downloaded
InstallAnywhere, but
each installer ran without
errors on all platforms.”
