A Powerful Software Packaging Solution

My overall experience with Advanced Installer is extremely beneficial. Save us a lot of time and money in the long run. Technical support is always there for me. No doubt, they are very supportive and solve all of my issues. The documentation is good. Tips and tricks are available. I love this application.

PROS

Advanced Installer is a very powerful tool when it comes to packaging software. It is very easy to use and reliable. You can easily create packages that install and uninstall and later on deploy your updates whenever you want. Their customer support is very fast and responsive. It is a simple and complete solution with very good documentation.

CONS

Advanced Installer has so many features and functionalities so you have to spend some time with it to understand its core features and functionalities and how it works and all that kind of stuff. Sometimes you might find that you don't even need all the features for your projects or work. But, it's pretty much worth spending time on it because you will learn a lot of things that will help you in your future projects or some complex projects. It has a learning curve and I'm okay with that.

Advanced Installer for the Modest User

We started with AI at least 15 years ago - it was a much simpler and lower cost product. We package executables we design and generate into MSI packages and almost nothing else. Hence the product has evolved into a much more sophisticated and complex product that has gone way beyond our needs.

PROS

Once you have a working script, executing modest updates is simple and trivial. The ability to customise the installer application is a significant bonus. Finally, having the script text file to search and edit manually helps find deeply embedded naming and other errors.

CONS

It is too complex - we use about 20% of the product so I feel like we are paying too much for what we will never use. Yet we are constrained to purchasing Enterprise for one simple Enterprise option, otherwise Professional would suffice. We are probably under-utilising various aspects. We are now dabbling with the Visual Studio integration but are finding it difficult to make it work the way we want , especially mirroring full installs vs updates.

Reason for choosing Advanced Installer

To be honest, we have not actively compared with other installers since our initial purchase because we have so much effort invested in installer scripts. But the cost of Enterprise so high for features we do not use, we will downgrade to Pro, once I get the energy to convert all the projects.

Reasons for switching to Advanced Installer

Cost - InstallShield was more expensive and not as easy to use.

An excellent tool for building and modifying installer packages

PROS

Advanced installer provides all the features that you need to build and maintain installer packages (MSIs). I especially appreciate all of its integrations with 3rd party tools, and its native support for Visual Basic.

CONS

There have been several installer packages I created that did not seem to work correctly; when authored, the executable does not run.
