Stunning User Interface:
InstallAware Express offers setup themes true to the meaning of the word, themes that are unique and highly customized. Far from a change of colors or just supporting the new Windows XP appearance, setup themes bring new life to installer user interface design.

CD/DVD builds offer an uncompressed setup layout that spans multiple directories.
Web Builds, when run, download only the minimum required/selected components from the web onto the end-user's system.
Single EXE Builds are ideal for offline/network installations. The entire installation is tightly packed into a single executable file.

The InstallAware Express IDE is tailored for developers who need to get things done fast! In less than 30 minutes, you will have a workable setup; and we're willing to bet your entire setup will be complete well before the day is over.

The Windows Installer databases created by InstallAware Express all pass ICE tests with no extra effort on your part, helping your application earn the coveted Designed for Windows logo direct from Microsoft.

WiXAware even offers a visual dialog editor with automatic WiX code generation and two-way integrated editing.
