Software Installation Leader Adopts the Top Java HTML Rendering Tool

CALGARY, Alberta--Feb. 9, 2004--ICEsoft Technologies Inc., the leading provider of Java browser and Java Web access software, today announced that InstallShield(R) Software Corporation, the acknowledged leader in software installation, packaging and deployment solutions, after an extensive competitive review, has adopted ICEreader(R) for integration with InstallShield MultiPlatform.

InstallShield Software provides the de facto standard system for installing software on over 250 million PCs around the globe. Today, the company continues to enhance that standard, providing independent software vendors, corporate developers and systems administrators with solutions for better managing the full lifecycle of each application, across all major operating systems and technologies.

InstallShield MultiPlatform is the industry's most powerful and flexible solution for deploying software onto any client or server platform, covering Mac OS X, OS/400, Windows, AIX, Solaris, Linux, HP-UX or any other flavor of UNIX.

"Every day we're setting new standards for building and distributing packaged applications. ICEsoft's HTML rendering software enables us to provide setups that are much more dynamic and appealing," said Bob Doyle, vice president of development at InstallShield. "The ICEsoft technology is 100 percent Java and completely customizable. As an integrated component, the ICEsoft solution lets us render our applications across the entire range of in-field operating environments."

InstallShield reviewed all the leading rendering solutions before deciding to standardize on ICEreader. The selection criteria included high availability and performance suitable for a mission-critical environment, a short learning curve for developers, rapid application deployment and integration and open standards to maximize business flexibility.

"After studying all our options, it was clear that ICEsoft offered the technical capabilities and support required to help move our business forward," said Doyle. "The implementation of ICEsoft's technology allows us to offer a more tightly integrated solution to our customers."
