When possible DeltaWalker is offered in two types of installer packages per supported platform:
The native installers offer the advantage of a tighter integration with the target Operating and/or Windowing System. For instance, the DeltaWalker MSI installer can create a desktop, a start menu program, and a quick launch bar shortcuts. It also can install a shell extension and can add a context-sensitive menu to the Windows Explorer, which would allow you to easily launch DeltaWalker comparisons from the context-menu in Windows Explorer. The actual installation of these, of course, is optional.
Zip files offer the simplest way of deployment - download, unzip, locate the DeltaWalker executable, and run it. To uninstall - simply delete the DeltaWalker installation folder. Note that we recommend against unzipping over an existing DeltaWalker installation as this may be a source of subtle runtime errors.
Where it makes sense, Deltopia also offers a third type of installer - a DeltaWalker-JRE bundle. Such an installer is ideal for users who don't currently have one of the DeltaWalker required JREs, or who want to setup and run DeltaWalker with the latest JRE, without changing the JRE currently configured for use by other Java applications. The DeltaWalker-JRE bundle features the latest Oracle JRE and all the advantages that come with that - latest performance improvements, security fixes, etc.
