On February 26, 2024, Caphyon Ltd. is proud to announce the release of Advanced Installer 21.5 IN Free, Professional, Enterprise and Architect publications. This version is available for download on the Advanced Installer website.
This release brings improvements mostly useful for software vendors who build packages from scratch, with a few exceptions in MSIX repackaging. The release focuses on our most used features:
prerequisites, installer dialogs/themes and automation.
If you missed it, below you can find a link to our latest webinar where we go over the most important updates we’ve brought to the Advanced Installer in the last 12 months. At the end, we talk a little about our plans for 2024.
