<p>Installer VISE Delivers Active Web Install Capabilities<br />
To Internet Explorer 4.0 For Macintosh</p>
<p>LINCOLN, NEBRASKA -- January 5, 1998: MindVision Software, the leading<br />
provider of installer creation tools for the Macintosh platform, today<br />
announces that Microsoft has chosen MindVision's new Active Web Installer<br />
technology for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 for Macintosh. Internet<br />
Explorer 4.0 users will greatly benefit from technical breakthroughs that<br />
seamlessly address data transfer rate, interrupted connections, and various<br />
hardware configurations for a convenient, trouble-free download and<br />
installation over the Web.</p>
<p>End users frequently do not need all the files contained in an installer.<br />
Previously, online users faced an often-daunting task of either downloading<br />
complete installers or choosing just the right installer for their system.<br />
MindVision's Active Web Installer technology simplifies the user experience<br />
by first downloading a small installer which can retrieve just the pieces<br />
needed for the user's specific requirements.</p>
<p>Users will benefit from reduced download times, reduced risk of download<br />
glitches, and the most up-to-date software available. Microsoft will<br />
benefit from reduced server loads, as well as an increase in customer<br />
satisfaction with the downloading and installation experience. In addition,<br />
MindVision's technology provides Microsoft with unprecedented flexibility<br />
in choosing when to offer updates and enhancements to online users.</p>
<p>The Active Web Install technology automatically handles interrupted<br />
connections and corrupted files. When a connection is interrupted,<br />
previously downloaded files will remain intact on the end user's system and<br />
the remains of the active file being downloaded at the time of the<br />
interruption will automatically be removed. When the end user reconnects,<br />
the download will continue with the interrupted file and finish downloading<br />
the remaining files.</p>
<p>"Users don't have all day to download everything they might possibly need,"<br />
said Don Bradford, general manager, cross platform development at<br />
Microsoft. "MindVision delivers the technology that allows Internet<br />
Explorer users to get up and running quickly, while also delivering a<br />
seamless installation experience".</p>
<p>MindVision's Active Web Install features include:</p>
<p>* grouping and packaging of files to create the smallest-possible data sets<br />
for downloading<br />
* storing the downloaded data into the installer application for future<br />
installs<br />
* various settings to easily handle the creation of an Internet-ready<br />
installer for the Web</p>
<p>Web installation features will ship in Installer VISE 5.0, due for release<br />
in the first quarter of 1998.</p>
<p>"As more and more users come to depend on the Internet for their software,<br />
it's a natural extension of an installer''s functionality to download<br />
software over the user's Internet connection," said Steve Kiene, founder<br />
and CEO of MindVision. "With our Active Web Install technology, users no<br />
longer need to download enormous installers for any possible configuration.<br />
Installer VISE's Active Web Install technology will download just the<br />
pieces they need, and get them on their way faster."</p>
<p>Founded in 1987, MindVision Software is a recognized industry leader<br />
specializing in software delivery solutions for the Macintosh and Windows<br />
platforms. Installer VISE for Macintosh has long been the industry standard<br />
installer for the Macintosh. Thousands of software companies, including<br />
Microsoft, Netscape, Adobe, and Claris have come to rely on our software to<br />
