Download Advanced Installer
Beverly Zielonko
Please note that I was talking about the ability of Advanced Installer MSI scripts to automatically remove older files when upgrading to a newer version of a program. I was not talking about the ability of the application to check for an update automatically. That's probably not in the free feature-set.
I have used advanced Installer It is really good.I would recommend to use it if you are developing a msi setup file for web applications.It is even integratedwith several other tools used for developing such as wix,inno setuo etc
I have not used Advanced Installer, however, just wanted to refer InstallJammer which is a multiplatform installer , which I have been using to create application installer and easy to use and configure.
I am using the Advanced Installer daily for my work . I can say that their manuals are not helpful enough, especially for people who do not have any experience with those tools. However if you pay for support , they can help you almost immediately . For sure there are some limits about this tools especially if you want your build to be MSI the UI will not respond as well as the exe - but i know they are trying to fix this issue .If you learn how to use it FOR sure you are going to like it.
The nice part about advanced installer is that they collect analytics (you have to pay for this feature ) and they can show you how many downloads per day , or how many users chose option 1 rather than option 2.Or you can send those statistics to your webserver and with POST can manipulate however you want - which is free!
It is user-friendly and intuitive, with a wide range of features and capabilities that make it easy to create professional-grade installation packages(EXE, MSI, MSIX, etc.). Some of its key features include support for a wide range of platforms and formats, integration with popular development tools and environments, and the ability to create customizable and visually appealing installers.
Advanced Installer is available in four editions: Freeware, Professional, Enterprise and Architect. The Freeware edition is free to use for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. The Professional, Enterprise and Architect editions have a trial period during which they can only be used for evaluation purposes. After this trial period, you must register the product or stop using it altogether.
The Freeware edition allows you to create only "Simple" template projects. All the other project templates require one of our commercial licenses. If you'll try to create a project using one of those templates you will start getting trial messages - just go back to creating/editing a "Simple" project and the trial message will go away.
The Advanced Installer freeware edition is the perfect MSI packaging solution for young applications. From school projects to startups with tight budgets or for a small line of business applications built by your team.
The installer is the first interaction new users have with your application. The commercial editions from Advanced Installer are tailored to improve this experience starting with crucial support for automatic updates, dependencies deployment, licensing support, and many more other features designed to save your time.

The Fire Detection and Alarm Advanced Installer is a two day course intended to provide technicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake and complete the installation work relating to FD&A systems, including the necessary testing that needs to be completed.
The course works through the responsibilities of the installer, explaining what information should be provided in the system specification, including the scope of works, at the outset of an installation. Later in the course we also look at the permit to work, risk assessment and method statement process.
We will re-cap system categories for BS 5839-1, as well as the system categories & grades of system for BS 5839-6. The course then covers the different system technologies available, component compatibility, circuit configurations for reliability & integrity, design requirements for detector spacing and mounting heights, how to approach pitch ceilings, vertical flue like structures, ceiling voids & wall mounted detectors etc.
As you would expect, the installation course also covers cabling & installation practices, electrical safety & fire stopping. Towards the end of the course, we will also touch on the requirements of the construction design & management regulations, the building regulations, fault finding, inspection & testing and the all-important requirements for documentation.
For courses that take place within the classroom environment, a hard copy of the course notes will be provided at the start of the course. For courses taking place on-line, delegates will have access to the course notes digitally. Following completion of the online course delegates will be contacted and have the option to receive a hard copy of the course book in the post. Details on how to access the digital course book will be provided within the course invitation e-mail. Delegates will need to set up access to the digital course book prior to the start of the course.
