BitRock InstallBuilder allows you to create
easy-to-use multiplatform installers for Linux
(x86/PPC/s390/x86_64/Itanium), Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (x86/Sparc), IRIX, AIX, and HP-UX applications. The generated application installers have a native look-and-feel and no external dependencies, and can be run in GUI, text, and unattended modes. In addition to self-contained installers, the installation tool is also able to generate standalone RPM packages.
Changes: A "showStringQuestion" dialog, a "getWindowsACL" action to retrieve ACLs on Windows, a "changeExecutableResources" action, and a project property "replaceLockedFilesOnReboot" were added. Autoupdate strings may now be localized. The "excludeFiles" and "includeFiles" tags were added to the "deleteFile" action. Actions that modify the environment variables and PATH can now be applied to a particular user (on Unix only). The is_empty and is_not_empty tests were added to the "registryTest" rule. The uninstaller icon may now be customized. Many more improvements and fixes were made.
