Ajw具有所有基本安裝工具的功能,包括支持多個(gè)安裝項(xiàng)、注冊(cè)表修改、INI文件修改、創(chuàng)建快捷方式、編輯readme文本、編輯協(xié)議文本、DLL文件注冊(cè)、共享DLL文件、自定義文件屬性等。
多語(yǔ)言支持
您可以創(chuàng)建任意支持的語(yǔ)言版本的安裝文件,您還可以為用戶提供語(yǔ)言版本的選擇功能,同時(shí)Readme文件和協(xié)議內(nèi)容也可以針對(duì)每一種語(yǔ)言進(jìn)行分別編輯。
可支持的語(yǔ)言有:簡(jiǎn)體中文、荷蘭語(yǔ)、英文、芬蘭語(yǔ)、法語(yǔ)、德語(yǔ)、希臘語(yǔ)、匈牙利語(yǔ)、意大利語(yǔ)、波蘭語(yǔ)、葡萄牙語(yǔ)、俄語(yǔ)、塞爾維亞語(yǔ)、西班牙語(yǔ)、瑞典語(yǔ)、土耳其語(yǔ)和烏克蘭語(yǔ)。
完全自定義的界面
Aiw允許您定義多個(gè)界面元素,包括是否顯示背景窗口,以圖像形式繪制背景,顏色調(diào)色板,文本和多個(gè)其它設(shè)置。除此之外,Aiw包含了一個(gè)對(duì)話框編輯器,方便您修改在安裝文件中一一出現(xiàn)的對(duì)話框的內(nèi)容,您可以添加自己的控件和圖像,移除原有的控件,以及其它您想要的操作。Aiw甚至還包含了主題系統(tǒng),您可以更改整個(gè)安裝文件的整體主題風(fēng)格及其外觀,而這一切僅需要您點(diǎn)擊鼠標(biāo)即可。自定義對(duì)話框功能可以幫助您創(chuàng)建更專業(yè)化更現(xiàn)代的安裝文件。
單個(gè)安裝文件
所有Aiw 創(chuàng)建的安裝文件均只有一個(gè)執(zhí)行文件,您可以將其放在您的網(wǎng)站上提供下載。因?yàn)闆](méi)有創(chuàng)建其它附加的文件,因此您無(wú)需再使用其它工具將安裝文件打包成一個(gè)執(zhí)行文件。如果您想要將您的安裝文件分拆為多個(gè)更小的文件,Aiw 允許您將安裝文件按照多個(gè)小文件形式打包。
條件系統(tǒng)
條件系統(tǒng)允許您創(chuàng)建的安裝文件針對(duì)安裝過(guò)程中的系統(tǒng)屬性作出相應(yīng)操作,以及支持用戶反饋操作。
幾乎所有的Aiw功能均支持條件化,因此您可以通過(guò)某些變量來(lái)控制其觸發(fā),這些屬性可以與安裝中的操作系統(tǒng)相關(guān),或者依據(jù)注冊(cè)表及其它文件來(lái)獲取某個(gè)值、或者從已有的注冊(cè)表或文件中讀取某個(gè)值、或者由用戶輸入相應(yīng)的文本字符串、以及從提供的詢問(wèn)對(duì)話框中的用戶回答中獲取,等等。
AutoUpdater工具
AutoUpdater工具允許您在您自己的軟件中添加專業(yè)級(jí)的升級(jí)系統(tǒng),您只需追蹤選項(xiàng)來(lái)指定升級(jí)和下載的地址即可。AutoUpdater可以為您的所有程序驗(yàn)證升級(jí)信息,您可以在客戶端模式中運(yùn)行,當(dāng)有相應(yīng)的升級(jí)文件存在時(shí),它僅僅顯示其需要的文件。
系統(tǒng)要求檢驗(yàn)
Aiw提供了多個(gè)操作系統(tǒng)信息檢驗(yàn)功能,并可以提醒用戶其當(dāng)前使用的操作系統(tǒng)的某些參數(shù)未滿足安裝文件的需要。您可以指定所要求的CPU速度、內(nèi)存數(shù)、操作系統(tǒng)類型、DirectX版本、分辯率等。對(duì)于安裝所需的磁盤空間的檢驗(yàn)是自動(dòng)執(zhí)行的
多媒體功能
Aiw支持可在冗長(zhǎng)的安裝過(guò)程中顯示一個(gè)幻燈片。為了保證文件的尺寸大小,幻燈片的圖像文件支持jpeg格式。Aiw還提供了其它多種多媒體功能,比如在安裝過(guò)程中播放背景音樂(lè)(mp3 格式)。您還可以指定將mp3格式和jpg格式的文件在安裝過(guò)程中解壓為wav格式和bmp格式,因此您可以創(chuàng)建包含了大量聲音和圖像文件但是體積依然小巧的安裝文件,同時(shí)您也可以在自己的程序中更快更簡(jiǎn)單得使用這些wav格式和bmp格式的文件
其它操作
Aiw提供了多個(gè)并不遜于其它單個(gè)類別的“其它”操作選項(xiàng)。其功能包括有:調(diào)用操作(復(fù)制文件、移動(dòng)文件、刪除文件、重命名文件、創(chuàng)建路徑、刪除路徑)、 執(zhí)行程式、打開(kāi)文件、打開(kāi)文件夾、顯示提示信息、提問(wèn)(并針對(duì)回答進(jìn)行對(duì)應(yīng)的操作)等等。與條件系統(tǒng)相結(jié)合,這些選項(xiàng)可以為幫助您創(chuàng)建更加多樣化的安裝功能
支持用戶的DLL文件
條件系統(tǒng)和其它操作允許您創(chuàng)建通用的安裝文件,但是許多時(shí)候他們無(wú)法完全滿足您的要求,在這種情況下,您可以創(chuàng)建滿足自己需要的DLL文件,文件中包含您自定義的行為,這些DLL文件可以完成您想要在安裝文件過(guò)程中實(shí)現(xiàn)的所有功能。
支持安裝第三方組件
Aiw允許您安裝許多第三方組件,比如.NET Framework 和 Java。這些組件可以根據(jù)您的需要從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上下載,以減少您安裝包的尺寸大小
直觀的用戶界面
即使Aiw僅是一個(gè)多功能壓縮和通用安裝文件生成的工具,其操作界面依然保持了簡(jiǎn)潔不簡(jiǎn)單的設(shè)計(jì)理念。我們已經(jīng)接到了數(shù)以百計(jì)的用戶回饋來(lái)盛贊Aiw界面的簡(jiǎn)潔。絕大多數(shù)的安裝文件可以在數(shù)分鐘內(nèi)生成。雖然許多用戶在體驗(yàn)我們的產(chǎn)品后,從InstallShield轉(zhuǎn)移到Aiw中,但是我們?nèi)匀粺o(wú)法否認(rèn)相對(duì)于Aiw ,InstallShield具有更多的功能。使用InstallShield來(lái)創(chuàng)建一個(gè)常規(guī)的安裝文件可能需要花費(fèi)數(shù)個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間,而使用Aiw,即使是沒(méi)有任何安裝文件創(chuàng)建經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人也僅需InstallShield的一小部分便可以完成任務(wù)。
無(wú)與倫比的價(jià)格優(yōu)勢(shì)
在同類軟件中,Aiw具有最好的價(jià)格優(yōu)勢(shì)。所有的其它具有Ajw所擁有功能的軟件,其價(jià)格往往在Aiw的十倍以上。而Aiw所具有的功能足以滿足任何創(chuàng)建安裝文件的需要,您不必再為了那些您未必確實(shí)需要的功能而花費(fèi)數(shù)以十倍的費(fèi)用。
Basic features
  Aiw supports all the basic installation program features, including such as multiple installation items, registry modifications, INI-file modifications, shortcut creation, readme text, license agreement text, DLL registration, Shared DLLs, customizable file properties, etc.
  Multi-language support
  The installations can be created in any supported language* and you can give the user an option to choose a language he prefers. The Readme and License agreement texts can also be specified separately for each language.
  * Currently available languages are Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian.
  Fully customizable outlook
  Aiw enables you to define whether to show the background window, image to draw to the background, color patterns, texts, and various other settings. In addition Aiw contains a dialog editor which lets you freely modify the dialogs in the installation; you can add your own components and images, remove old components, and do whatever else you wish. Aiw even contains a Theme system which allows you to change the outlook of the entire installation with just one click. The dialog customization allows you to create installations that always look professional and up-to-date.
  Single executable installations
  All installations created with Aiw contain only a single executable which you can put to your website for download. No additional files are created so you don't need to use some other utility to pack installation files into a single executable. If you're distributing your installations on smaller media Aiw lets you split the installation into smaller packages.
  Conditional system
  The conditional system enables you to create installations that react to the properties of the destination system and to the user feedback. Almost all functions in Aiw can be conditioned so that whether or not they are executed depends on some variable. These properties can be the operating system, a value read from registry or file, the existence of some registry value or file, a text string entered by the user, an answer to a yes-no-question provided by the user, etc.
  AutoUpdater tool
  The AutoUpdater tool enables you to add professional looking update system to your own software by just ticking the option specifying where to download the updates from. AutoUpdater can check for updates for all of your programs and you can run it in silent mode when it only displays itself if there are updates available.
  System requirement checking
  Aiw supports checking various system information and notifying the user if some conditions specified in the installation project are not met. You can specify the required CPU speed, amount of RAM, operating system, DirectX version, resolution, etc. Required hard disk space is automatically checked.
  Multimedia features
  Aiw supports showing a slide show during lengthy installations. To save space the files can be in jpeg format. Aiw also supports other multimedia features, such as playing background music during the installation (mp3). You can also specify that Aiw should decompress all mp3 and jpg files into wav and bmp files during installation. This enables you to create small installations that contain lot of sound and music files, and images, yet your own program can use the simple and fast to handle wav and bmp formats.
  Miscellaneous operations
  Aiw supports multiple "miscellaneous" operations that do not fall into any single category. These features include such as shell operations (copy files, move files, delete files, rename files, create directories, remove directories), executing programs, opening documents, opening folders, showing messages, asking yes-no-questions (and taking some action according to the answer), etc. In association with the conditional system these operations allow you to create very diverse installations.
  Support for custom DLLs
  The conditional system and miscellaneous operations enable you to create very versatile installations but sometimes they are not enough. In these cases you can create a DLL which contains custom behaviour. The DLLs allow you to do practically anything in your installations.
  Support for installing 3rd-party components
  Aiw allows you to install many third-party components, such as .NET Framework and Java. These components can be downloaded from the Internet on demand in order to minimize the installation size.
  Intuitive user interface
  Even though Aiw is feature packed and a versatile installation creation utility, the user interface has been kept very simple. We have gotten feedback from hundreds of users praising the intuitive user interface. Most simple installations can be created in matter of minutes. Dozens of users have changed from InstallShield to Aiw due to the fact that even though InstallShield indisputably has more features than Aiw, creating just a basic installation with InstallShield can take hours while with Aiw anyone without any previous experience can create the same installation in a fraction of that time.
  Unbeatable price
  Aiw has the best price-feature ratio on the market. All tools that have even as much features as Aiw cost nearly ten times more than Aiw. The features of Aiw are also adequate for almost every installation so it is no use paying a tenfold price for features that you don't actually need.
