    InstallBuilder is a commercial development tool for creating cross-platform installation programs and software packages.

    InstallBuilder builds software installers for Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD and other UNIX platforms....[2] It can also be used to generate RPM and Debian packages.[3]

    Over the years, it has been promoted by different media sources such as linux.com[4][5] and Linux_Journal[6].

    In addition to commercial licenses, it also offers free licenses for opensource projects[7]. One of the most commonly known open source users is XAMPP[8], which provides Windows, Linux and macOS installers built with InstallBuilder.

    History[edit]

    In 2003, Daniel Lopez Ridruejo founded BitRock[9]. A few months later, the first version of InstallBuilder was released[1].

    In February 22, 2005, BitRock released its first opensource stack, built using InstallBuilder and packaging popular opensource components[10]. This stack, would be the beginning of what will later become Bitnami[11]. Bitnami kept distributing popular opensource stacks packed with InstallBuilder until they were recently discontinued[12].

    On May 15, 2019, VMware acquired BitRock (doing business as Bitnami)[13][14], incorporating InstallBuilder to its store[15] and rebranding it to VMware InstallBuilder [16]

    On Dec 15 2022, InstallBuilder was again acquired by Backstaff Software[17], which is still maintaining it and focusing on support and new features.
