Description:
Pilot Catapult is the first installation kit specifically
developed for the needs of the Palm® Computing
platform.
A little history may help you understand the product better.
Why was Catapult created
Back in 1999 PDAs were still fairly new and Beiks got quite a few
calls from angry customers rightfully claiming a ZIP file would
never install on their PDA. We made an installation with out
favorite InstallShield® only to find out it was
introducing around 400% download size increase! Not only that, but
we had to actually dedicate a full-time engineer to manage the many
builds! He was complaining it was hard, there were errors in the
scripting engine requiring us to upgrade to a Pro version for some
$XXX.00 and so on and so on.
We have found the hard way that the generic desktop
install kits like InstallShield® and
WISE® simply did not cut it for our Palm OS
applications deployment. They were fat, inefficient and were
costing us in money and time, the second being even more
important.
How is it better
For a starter, it addresses all above issues:
1. It helps users install applications more
easily
2. It greatly helps decrease support calls
3. Its minimal footprint makes it efficient for mobile
applications distribution; it does not use MFC or the Palm Install
AIDE DLLs
4. It is less powerful than a generic desktop installer, thus being
easier to learn and use
5. Despite of the above, it is actually better focused on
mobile application deployments
Ultimately, it increases efficiency and productivity
while significantly decreasing support and deployment
costs.
Where is the catch
If there's any catch - and we never meant for it to be - it would
be in the phrase less features section. It can be good or it
can be bad, depending on what you really want.
If your installation deployment fits the needs of what we think is
the vast majority then Catapult should beat all generic
install kits hands down on price/performance. And price
includes the time you have to spend with it, don't forget
it!
However, if your application needs a feature that was not designed
to be met by Catapult then we would be the first to recommend
another solution.
Here is an example: if your application uses Java conduits, then do
not use Cataput. Java conduits require redistributing and
installing Java RTE and Catapult is simply not meant for that. It
can be done, but it will not be...efficient.
And also...Beiks has created Catapult because it needed it
and uses it ever since. Every new version is usually tested in real
life before it gets released to developers.
