What we have here is nothing out of this world, but an excellent and up to date Windows interface that's a pleasure to look at and easy to use.

Once the program is up & running, we should start digging in, and this is what I am going to do next. The free trial version of this program that I have here comes as a - what else? - MSI package having 5.5MB in size and some nag screens here and there, and its setup process is easy to follow for everyone. This is the follower and a big improvement over the old Setup API, bringing new features such as a GUI framework, automatic generation of the uninstallation sequence and powerful deploying capabilities.Įach MSI package has a well defined structure and a lot of elements that should be taken care of in order to obtain a good result, and having an authoring tool to stand by your side is a great advantage, and this takes us to the subject of this review, a commercial program called Advanced Installer Professional. The Windows Installer, previously known as Microsoft Installer (this is the source of the MSI extension of the setup packages) is an engine for installation, maintenance and removal of applications running on modern Windows systems.
