Get a head start on supporting Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and build setups that leverage the new features of Windows Installer 5. Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and MSI 5 Support With InstallShield 2010, developers can offer evals as virtual packages, eliminating those fears and increasing evaluations. Many end users are hesitant to install evaluations because of the potential risk to their machines. Virtual formats like App-V are also useful for software vendors offering evaluation versions of their products. InstallShield 2010’s App-V support is ideal for companies adopting application virtualization for their own environments. Because there’s no physical installation, there are no installation or retirement problems and no application compatibility issues. Instead they run in their own isolated virtual containers – which include registry entries, libraries, executables, and anything else the application needs to run – completely separate from the operating system. But virtual applications never get installed on the client. To an end user, virtual applications appear and function just like physically installed software.
InstallShield 2010 handles all the conversion work, so there’s no learning curve for developers new to application virtualization. It can also automatically modify your legacy MSIs to App-V packages. Now when you build a traditional MSI project, InstallShield 2010 can simultaneously build it as a virtual App-V package. InstallShield is once again revolutionizing software installations with new support for application virtualization with Microsoft® App-V™.
