Product Description:

VISE X is quite simply the best software installer for the Mac OS X, period! With VISE X you can easily build a Universal (universal binary) installer that will reliably deliver your product to your customers. You can focus your energy on developing your software without worrying about the complicated details of writing an installer script.

What's new in this version:

  • Gestalts have been updated for Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. You can use the new "Has MacOS X 10.5 or Greater" Gestalt check to ensure that install actions take place only on the proper Mac OS versions.
  • The SetSelectedItemInstallLocation AppleScript command now works with action items. You can use this command to set the location and domain for an action item's search criteria.
  • The SetSelectedItemReplaceOptions AppleScript command now correctly sets replace options for a folder and all of its subfolders, instead of just the parent folder.
  • To prevent users from re-selecting options that are still being processed, installers built with the Updater interface will disable the Select Folder button and the Continue button when appropriate.
  • We have fixed a bug that prevented building multi-segmented installers in Folder or CD Installer formats.
  • Another bug fix allows installers to correctly display Russian language strings.

VISE X CommentaryInstallers are still around in 2007? - Version: 3.2, 1/8/2007 12:04PM PST

If you need an installer for your app use Apple PackageMaker instead, it's free... BTW drag and drop rules.

VISE X Troubleshooting ReportCan't uninstall VISE X - Version: 3.0, 7/22/2006 11:14PM PST

Could somebody tell me how to uninstall this thing?
You can't move it to trashcan because there are associated filetypes (.vct).
The installer can only install, there are no uninstall (perhaps they think you'll never want to uninstall it once you've tried it)

Somebody help!

ps.
Mindvision states on his wesite: "VISE X is quite simply the best software installer for the Mac OS X, period!" :))))))))))))))))))

VISE X ReviewI despise this application - Version: 3.0, 7/4/2006 05:12AM PST

Here's a suggestion: it could ASK THE USER FOR PERMISSION before KILLING ALL HIS APPLICATIONS. And how about having the uninstaller actually uninstall all the crap the installer put in there? The installer generator should make it harder for developers to make user-hostile installers.

Developers! Please, please build your installer the OSX way. Download Adium, see how they did it. Your users will thank you. If your lawyers tell you you need a clickwrap license, you can add that to the dmg file, or have it shown the first time the application is started.
