InstallAware First (and Only) Installation Toolkit to Support .NET 2.0
Installations
One click deployment for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Applications

San Francisco, CA, October 31 2005 - InstallAware Software
Corporation has shipped a plug-in update pack for InstallAware, adding
support for deploying Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0 was released less than a week ago, and InstallAware is
the only installation toolkit at this time to provide support for
installing the new version of the framework.

"InstallAware has taken the lead. We're the first to support the
new breed of Microsoft technologies, including .NET Framework 2.0 and
SQL Server 2005," says Sinan Karaca, President of InstallAware
Software Corporation. "For over two years now, InstallAware has been
offering the only viable alternative to InstallShield's line of
installation development tools. With this latest update to
InstallAware, made available in less than 24 business hours after the
new Microsoft technologies were released to manufacturing, we are
championing the next generation Windows Installer based setup
development tool."

InstallAware dramatically simplifies deployment of applications and
technologies based on Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. InstallAware
installs the framework, along with its pre-requisites, in a single pass
- all as an integral part of the main application installation.
Additionally, InstallAware reduces the size of the framework (and its
required runtimes) up to 1/3rd the original size. "We first eliminate
the redundant compression layers in the original files," says Agustin
Berge, Director of Development at InstallAware Software Corporation.
"We then process the resulting data through filters optimized for
executable code, and finally pass them through our superior compression
algorithm. The result is an installer that is three times smaller than
what the competition delivers!"

InstallAware also supports deploying the .NET Framework 2.0, and other
required runtimes such as Windows Installer 3.0, on the web separately
from the main application. End-users still download a fully
self-contained installer that runs without requiring an Internet
connection - something traditional web deployment cannot do, but
InstallAware's partial web deployment can. The partially web deployed
runtimes (and optionally, rarely used application features) are
downloaded on-the-fly only when needed.

Thus, InstallAware not only streamlines the installation of .NET
Framework 2.0 based applications, but it also reduces the actual size
of the .NET Framework 2.0 package, and trims the fat off of the main
setup file by stripping the optional runtimes from the main download.

InstallAware 2005 is available in Express and Studio editions, with
prices starting at US$199. A time limited trial and more information is
available at http://www.installaware.com/. The plug-in update pack is
available free of charge, for both trial and licensed users, at
http://www.installaware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=307.
