An application typically comprises a number of files—executables,
binaries and resource files for its supported languages. These files may be
conveniently packaged into a single installable .sis
file.
Sisar is an application that runs on your development machine that
allows you to create .sis
files from within a GUI environment.
This allows full functionality provided by .sis
files, which
includes:
Installation of files depending on the chosen application language
Installation of files depending on options supplied at installation time
Installation of files depending on the advertised capabilities of the target device
Checking that pre-requisites for the application exist, e.g. llibraries
Display of licensing information
Cleanup after the application is uninstalled
Embedding of other .sis
files
Sisar's GUI allows you to create Sisar project files
(.sisar
) which may import existing .pkg
and
.aifb
(AIF builder project) files.
