Altiris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRS), a pioneer of service-oriented management solutions, today announced the release of the Wise Installation Studio™ 7.0 product. This new version supports the creation of installations for Windows Vistaa, 64-bit Windows operating systems, and Windows Mobile 5 devices.
The Wise Installation Studio product also now helps software developers significantly reduce software support costs by supporting Altiris® Software Virtualization Solution™ technology. Software developers can use Wise Installation Studio to package applications in the virtual software archive (.VSA) format to help eliminate file and registry conflicts between applications.
This release of the Wise Installation Studio product also includes integration with Nalpeiron PRO-Tector Standarda, which helps developers create trialware versions of their applications. To help prevent piracy of trialware applications, PRO-Tector Standard electronically generates, tracks and enforces software licenses. PRO-Tector Standard provides a range of options to protect software intellectual property through the software trial period and product activation. Nalpeiron is offering Wise Installation Studio 7.0 customers a free copy of Nalpeiron PRO-Tector Standard, if desired.
“Altiris is providing commercial software developers with unique tools to reduce support costs and drive software sales,” said Steve Morton, Altiris VP of product management and marketing. “Wise Installation Studio 7.0 allows application developers to create virtual software application installations and provides a way to protect applications from piracy through collaboration with Nalpeiron. In addition, this new version was built to accommodate installation authoring for software applications running on the latest computing platforms like Windows Vista, 64-bit and Windows Mobile 5.”
Altiris offers two installation creation products for software developers: Wise Installation Studio and Wise Installation Express™. Wise Installation Studio is a full-featured product that contains advanced installation authoring capabilities, including support for the Windows Installer (.MSI). WiseScript (.EXE), and virtual software archive (.VSA) formats. Wise Installation Express is a basic installation authoring tool intended for software developers who only need support for the Windows Installer (.MSI) format. Both products support Windows Vista and 64-bit Windows operating systems.
