"We use Installbuilder to package our applications, improve and simplify the deployment of our tools, targeting an important range of platforms from Linux to Windows and MacOSX. Bitrock team has proven very helpful and the quality of their support has been a key element in our choice." Mickael Remond, President, Process-One.

Why Choose BitRock InstallBuilder?

BitRock InstallBuilder was developed out of our desire to improve the installation of open source and multiplatform software. As developers, we were frustrated with the overpriced and bloated solutions from Java-based "enterprise" vendors. The features and architecture we've created for BitRock InstallBuilder and InstallBuilder for Qt® reflect the real-world needs of our users. They also address many of the shortcomings of other tools:

• Your installers will be fast. Installation data is read directly from the executable, bypassing the necessary self-extraction step for Java-based installers. Your installers will start in a seconds, as opposed to minutes!
• Your installers will be good looking. Why settle for ugly, outdated installers? InstallBuilder provides a native look and feel across all supported platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
• Your installers will be small, self-contained, native executables. Why include the 20Mb overhead of a JRE + installer with your PHP web application or your C++ based game? Or, cross your fingers, hoping that your user will have the right version of the JVM already installed in the system just so they can install your software? InstallBuilder makes it really easy to bundle a Java Runtime or autodetect its presence in the user machine, but only if you need it.
• InstallBuilder is developer and user friendly. An installer is the last step before releasing your software. InstallBuilder is designed to help you with that task, not get in the way. Our GUI building tool helps you get started. Human friendly XML files make it easy to run automated builds, track changes in CVS and add complex functionality without having to write a single line of Java code.
• InstallBuilder is priced fairly. Our software is accessible to developers at companies of all sizes and offers a feature set matching or exceeding our competition, at a better price.
• We listen to our customers. A great deal of our development is driven by customer feedback and we are constantly looking for ways InstallBuilder can make your life easier.

That said, the best way to learn why you should use InstallBuilder is to try it. You will find that it is faster, easier and the resulting installers perform better than competing products.
