InstallAnywhere is the leading multiplatform installation development solution for application producers who need to deliver a professional and consistent installation experience for physical, virtual and cloud environments. From a single project file and build environment, InstallAnywhere creates reliable installations for these on-premises platforms: Windows, Linux, Apple, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and IBM.
