InstallBuilder is a development tool for creating cross-platform installers, native packages, DVDs and CD-ROMs. It provides an intuitive graphical development environment, making it easy to learn and use, and an XML-based project format that allows for collaborative development, version control and integration with automated build and test environments. From one project file and build environment, developers can build installers for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, HP-UX, AIX, IRIX, IBM iSeries and pSeries and other platforms.
InstallBuilder 9 has many new features including:
- Improved performance and reduced memory consumption and size. A new compression algorithm allows for even higher compression rates and decompression speed at runtime. Customers will experience 25% faster installation times and 20% reduction in installer size on average.
- Retina display support is now available for InstallBuilder Qt users to help improve the OS X experience.
- HTML license support, a feature previously only available for Qt developers, is now available for all InstallBuilder users. InstallBuilder 9 provides licenses in both plain text and HTML format on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (32 and 64-bit).
