Advanced Installer Professional 4.4

Advanced Installer Professional is a Windows Installer authoring tool which enables developers and system administrators to easily build reliable MSI packages. It is a powerful, but very complex technology. Mastering it on your own takes months of hard work. That's where this comes to help. It creates a high level abstraction on top of the underlying technology. With a clean, simple user interface, each operation is logical and intuitive. Everything is done in the user interface, without complicated scripts to learn or arcane database tables to edit.

Advanced Installer is built on standard, open formats. The project files are saved as XML files for easy integration with source control systems. Advanced Installer is free for the simplest, most common usages. If additional capabilities are needed, they are available at some of the lowest prices in the industry.
