New InstallAware Multi Platform Builds GUI Setups with Console Fallbacks, Ensuring 100% Successful Deployments on All (Linux) OS's
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- InstallAware Software, the leader in software installation, repackaging, and virtualization solutions for application developers and enterprises, is launching InstallAware Multi Platform 1.0 on Friday this week. InstallAware is extending its two decades of thought leadership on the Windows platform to new Linux and macOS platforms, as bona fide first class citizens.
- Building a GUI installer that runs everywhere is literally impossible, because GUI widgets are also non-standard – with platforms fragmented between GTK, Qt, and others still.
- InstallAware Multi Platform has tackled these challenges and succeeded in generating universal installers, successfully deploying on all (Linux) operating systems; irrespective of GUI widgets or package managers.
- InstallAware sidesteps the whole GUI widget issue by implementing a new Console Setup Engine, where all developer designed setup wizards render in character mode.
- New "Mixed Mode" setups include both engines, with the Console taking over when the GUI does not boot for any reason.
