Farbrook Access-Solution Installation
(FASI)
A FASI is a package, deployment, and installation service provided to developers of solutions which incorporate the Microsoft Access run-time files. A FASI wraps all the files, dependencies, registry entries, shortcuts, splash screens, etc (including the Runtime files) required by your solution into a single InstallShield installation.

Why do you need a FASI?

  • Would you like to drastically reduce the size of your installation? learn more
  • Are you confused by having to install different dependency file versions for different target operating systems? learn more
  • Are your customers confused when your installation stops and asks them to install the Microsoft Access Runtime before continuing? learn more
  • Are your customers confused by installation messages like "A file on your system is newer... etc... Do you want to keep the existing file?..." learn more
  • Do you want to ensure that your application is unaffected if a client uninstalls or moves his version of Microsoft Office? learn more
  • Do you want your installation to act intelligently depending upon what version of your application is already installed? learn more
  • Do you want to be able to include a license agreement during installation? learn more
  • Do you want to be able to interact with your customers during installation? learn more
  • Do you want your customers to be able to choose whether to install all or only some parts of your application? learn more
  • Do you want to be able to manipulate the Windows registry during your installation? learn more
  • Would you like to replace the Access splash screen your customers see when your application starts with your own? learn more
  • Do you want to include desktop or start menu shortcuts to your application, your web site, or other features? learn more
  • If your application is a split database, would you like to include a shortcut to compact and repair the backend database? learn more
  • Would you like your installation to launch your application on completion? Or perhaps display a 'readme' file, or 'What's new in this version' link? learn more
  • Do you find Microsoft's 'Package and Deployment Wizard' inadequate for your needs? learn more
  • Do you want to manage and execute your deployment process via the Web? learn more
  • Do you want to be able to concentrate on revenue-earning development of your application? learn more
  • Do you want your installation to look thoroughly professional and be hassle-free for your customers? learn more
