InstallAware Software, a leader in software installation, repackaging, and virtualization solutions for app developers and enterprises, launched its Application Porting Toolkit on October 20, 2025, in San Francisco.
The toolkit allows any existing Windows application to run seamlessly on GNU/Linux or macOS devices without requiring binary source code changes. This innovation builds on InstallAware's Setup Virtualization technology, developed over more than two decades of software engineering.
