InstallAnywhere

InstallAnywhere

InstallAnywhere is a Java-based software tool for creating installers or software packages, for multiple platforms. InstallAnywhere was originally made by ZeroG Software [http://www.zerog.com/macrovision-zero-g-faq.html] until it was acquired by Macrovision in mid-June 2005. With Macrovision's sale of their software group, InstallAnywhere is now owned and supported by Acresso Software. There are two editions of the software, Standard and Enterprise.

History

InstallAnywhere's main competitor was InstallShield MP (MultiPlatform). However, as Macrovision acquired both InstallShield and InstallAnywhere, it stopped the development of InstallShield MP and encouraged its users to migrate to InstallAnywhere 8. Similarly, there was an InstallAnywhere version that concurrenced InstallShield, called InstallAnywhere.NET (Windows only). Again, Macrovision announced its EOL right after the ZeroG acquisition, and encouraged InstallAnywhereNET users to migrate to InstallAnywhere.
