InstallBuilder for Qt®

BitRock InstallBuilder for Qt includes robust functionality, making it easy to quickly build complex installers without writing a single line of Java code. With InstallBuilder for Qt you can:

Generate installers for all supported platforms from one project file, on one machine
Build installers using either the GUI development environment, or by directly editing a human-friendly XML file that can easily be integrated into your automated build process and version control system
Integrate with the underlying desktop environment and package management systems
Create start menu shortcuts on Windows systems, KDE/Gnome desktop shortcuts and register with the RPM system on Linux

Java based crossplatform installation tools are notorious for producing slow-moving, bloated installers that do not integrate natively with the target operating system. BitRock InstallBuilder for Qt is the first installation tool developed with Qt Software especially for developing shipping Qt applications. BitRock InstallBuilder for Qt is easy to use and does not require bundling a Java run-time or a self-extraction step, which increases installer speed while decreasing its size. Best of all, the generated installers have a truly native look and feel across all supported platforms.
