AS/400 Support and Multiple Platform Installations for your Enterprise!

Your development needs aren't quite the same as others. You operate in bulk -- deploying large-scale, distributed applications in an enterprise environment. Your installations have more customization needs, more hardware and platform support needs, and no clear solutions. Until now.

InstallShield Enterprise - Multi-Platform Edition gives the large-scale, enterprise installation developer an opportunity to target Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX or OS/2. But most importantly, Enterprise Edition is the only solution that lets you successfully deploy customized installations to AS/400 machines. With a team of expert training and consulting services ready to aid you, InstallShield can provide the complete solution for your large-scale deployment needs.

Three Products for Multi-Platform Deployment
(previously known as InstallShield Java Edition) InstallShield offers three multi-platform solutions:

• InstallShield Enterprise - Multi-Platform Edition
  Adds AS/400 support and more to the custom control of the Professional-level version.
• InstallShield Professional - Multi-Platform Edition
  The powerful multi-platform deployment solution you expect from InstallShield.
• InstallShield Express - Multi-Platform Edition
  Fast. Easy. Complete. Less customized control for quicker deployment.

Features

Installing Distributed Applications

• Full Extensibility:
  Take advantage of the open architecture and the API to build virtually any function into your installation. Create custom bean panels, actions, etc. Custom beans can be extended with practically any machine-readable code. This provides unlimited flexibility and creativity when the existing functions do not meet your needs. The custom beans that you develop are registered in the product and can be reused for installation and configuration throughout your organization, or for future projects.
• JAR File Build Option:
  Save projects as JAR files for greater portability and to enable decompression from standard Zip-compatible utilities.
• Command-Line Build and Project Updates:
  The command-line build option makes scheduled builds more efficient and automatic. Command line building allows you to make changes to properties in the project and start a build process without opening the IDE.
• JVM Resolution (VM Search and Launch):
  The JVM resolution manages the search for the Java Virtual Machine on the target machine. This bean uses properties to resolve the location and settings for the VM required by the application being installed. Each platform has target-specific search to assure success.
• Billboard Support:
  Highly customizable billboards enable you to educate, inform, or advertise during the install.
• Full and Partial Uninstall:
  Remove applications through the native uninstall applet in full or partial configurations.
