InstallBuilder development is also driven by our own experience packaging our customized stack solutions, developing sophisticated installers to install and configure software such as Apache, MySQL and PHP. “BitRock customers range from the leading open source companies, to the world’s largest semiconductor companies, to universities and independent Linux game developers,” said Erica Brescia, VP of Business Development for BitRock, “so InstallBuilder includes functionality that meets a broad range of needs. Support has also been added for generating installers with a Qt® front-end. In addition to support for Linux 64-bit and RPM generation, the 4.0 release of BitRock InstallBuilder includes several new and improved features, including the ability to ask multiple questions per page, which provides for streamlined collection of user data and the creation of an even friendlier, faster, installation process. The ability to generate RPMs from installer project files saves hours of development time and eliminates the need to maintain separate RPM and installer-building processes.

The development tool turns the application packaging, distribution and deployment process of multiplatform applications into a fast, easy and cost effective task for independent software vendors and custom application developers. JanuBitRock Incorporated announced today the release of BitRock InstallBuilder 4.0, which adds support for Linux 64-bit and the ability to generate RPMs. Erica Brescia writes “The leading multiplatform installation tool now includes support for Linux 64-bit and RPM package generation.
