About
InstallAnywhere Now!
InstallAnywhere Now! is a lightweight version of Zero G Software's industry-standard
InstallAnywhere installation technology, designed to meet the essential needs of anyone
looking to deploy Java software (or any kind of software at all) to multiple
platforms. Creating installers that can be distributed via CD-ROM or over the Web,
making native launchers for Java applications, setting the CLASSPATH, and specifying
custom application icons are all a snap with IA Now!. Its easy-to-use Project Wizard
lets you build installers for just about any platform in six simple steps. And as
your needs grow, you'll be able to upgrade to the more sophisticated editions of the
InstallAnywhere family of products: InstallAnywhere
Express and InstallAnywhere Standard Edition.
The InstallAnywhere 2 Family of
Products
If you find you have more sophisticated installation requirements, there are two other
products in the family of InstallAnywhere installation tools, each targeted to a different
set of developer requirements. InstallAnywhere Now! projects are fully
upward-compatible with the other two editions of InstallAnywhere. Visit http://www.InstallAnywhere.com/ianow for
