Features:
Advanced Installer focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It provides a powerful - yet highly intuitive and easy to use - interface to the deployment process, making the authoring of MSI files a snap. It shields the developers from the complexity and intricacies of the Windows Installer technology while enabling them to leverage all its capabilities. Advanced Installer is a Windows Installer authoring tool which enables developers and system administrators to create reliable MSI packages that meet the latest Microsoft Windows logo certification requirements, while having built-in support for Java Applications. Advanced Installer for Java applications has the ability to generate an JRE installer package which bundles the Java Runtime Environment you specify. This JRE will be placed alongside with your Java application and it will be used when starting it.
Full Windows Vista support
The most important Microsoft OS release in years, Windows Vista delivers major features and updates that impose additional challenges for applications and installers. Target Vista with your installers by using Advanced Installer to author installs with minimal UAC elevation prompts, digitally signed and meeting the requirements for the Windows Vista Logo Certification.
Microsoft Authenticode Digital ID signature
The Windows Installer technology was built to alleviate the issues faced by developers wanting to install software on the Windows platform. The solutions range from the supporting installation file, registry, shortcuts and file associations to Windows services, .Net and Win32 assemblies and digitally signed MSI packages. With Advanced Installer you can digitally sign the setups you create, authenticating your products and giving your users confidence and peace of mind.

For example the .Net Framework, Java Runtime Environment, Acrobat Reader, browsers or databases. The prerequisites can be bundled in your package or downloaded on demand only if found missing on the users computer.
Author Windows Installer Patches (MSP files)
