"The Bitrock's product has a good structured approach to installer definition which allows us to build complex kits automatically. It also has an appealing native look-and-feel, which gives a good initial impression of our HVR replication product when the customer first installs it."- Steve Sheil,
HVR Product Manager,
PSB High Volume Replication bv
"Just does what it is supposed to do. Using InstallBuilder we can focus on our core product, rather than worrying about each platform's installers… Besides the website, Hyves is expanding into the desktop space, starting with our chat application and a photo uploader tool. Together, these tools have been downloaded approx. 25,000 times in less than two weeks since we started using InstallBuilder."- Arend van Beelen,
Programmer,

Get a Free License for your Open Source Project
Bitrock founders come from an open source background, and are contributors to projects such as Apache, Mono and the Linux Documentation Project. Our goal is to make both commercial and Open Source software easier to install and use in multiple platforms.
We believe our installers can greatly improve the adoption of Linux and Open Source software, especially among end-users that come from a Windows background. In that spirit, we offer full-featured licenses to open source projects.
You can check out Mono or NPGSQL for examples of projects using our installers. Please contact us at info@bitrock.com if you are interested in using our installers for your project
Requirements to apply for a free license:
- Your project must meet the Open Source Initiative definition of Open Source.
- The license can only be used to build installers for your project.
- The license cannot be transferred or used for commercial purposes.
If you have a freely-distributable project that does not meet the OSI guidelines, such as certain games for Linux, please contact us as well.
Making our installer freely available to Open Source projects is one of the ways we give back to the community. We have found that in return we get valuable feedback, feature suggestions and bug reports from Open Source users, so it works out well for everybody. In that respect we would like to thank the following individuals from the community that have helped us with testing, suggestions and translations for our installers: Alvaro Iradier, Alberto Diaz, Reiner Jung, Cheng-Lin Yang, Linux Master Jedi, Emmanuel Chauveau, Daniel C., Luis Filipe, Fernando Verdu Castillo, Harry Vennik, Arny, Rhoslyn Prys, Ullar Pajus, Janus Vidalis.
