"As the world's most popular open source database, MySQL has a diverse customer base that requires support for a wide range of operating systems and architectures. BitRock's expertise in packaging software to make it easy to install in virtually any environment made it the perfect fit for MySQL's requirements. Working with BitRock allows us to provide our users with a fast, easy installation process while at the same time reducing our support costs."- Rob Young,
Senior Product Manager MySQL Network
MySQL Inc.
"Bitrock outperformed even their own estimates on providing the functionality we needed in an inordinately short amount of time... Bitrock listened to our needs and implemented the functionality we needed on a tight deadline and kept us up to date and included in the process with consistent 'update' builds to show their progress. I would highly recommend working with Bitrock to anyone that is looking for a professional, excellent team of individuals that can implement custom solutions without breaking your bank account.- Justin DuJardin,

InstallBuilder 8 Highlights
Built-In Debugger |
|
|
The new InstallBuilder debugger makes it easier to identify and correct issues during the development process. It allows you to view and interactively edit installer variables at runtime, provides step-by-step execution to test that specific parts of the installer are functioning properly, allows recovering from unexpected errors during the installation process and more. A complete guide to using the debugger is now included in the InstallBuilder documentation. |
|
Enhanced Component Functionality |
|
|
Expanded component functionality now provides support for downloadable components and component groups, including support for subcomponents. Downloadable components will be downloaded at runtime only if the user chooses to install them, reducing the size of installer downloads. The new component system allows you to group individual components and build feature sets that will be displayed in a tree structure ("subcomponents".) It also allows users to add and remove specific components from existing installations. |
|
Dynamic Parameter Support |
|
|
Enhanced parameter support makes it possible to create dynamic pages that will be automatically reconfigured based on user's input. This allows you to create a more customized and streamlined installation experience for users. |
|
Expanded Documentation |
|
|
Over 350 pages of documentation are now available for InstallBuilder. The documentation not only explains every feature of InstallBuilder, but also provides sample code for a wide variety of installer functions, such as bundling a Java runtime, detecting pre-requisites on the system, offering basic and advanced installation modes and more. |
