Case Study: Websense achieves reliable cross-platform installers for Windows, Linux and V‑Series appliances with Flexera InstallAnywhere

Websense Reliably Installs their Solution on Multiple Platforms using InstallAnywhere

Websense, Inc., a global leader in Web, data, and email security, needed a reliable way to deploy its Websense Web Security application across Windows, Linux, and V‑Series appliances. Because the product is a mixed‑language solution, the team wanted a single installation project they could maintain instead of separate platform‑specific installers.

Websense adopted InstallAnywhere to build one cross‑platform installer, leveraging its Java‑based engine, built‑in actions, manifest support, APIs, multilingual UI, rollback and multiple installer modes. The result was significant time savings, simplified installer development, consistent professional installations on all target platforms, fewer support calls thanks to integrated logging, and a much faster, more reliable deployment process.
