User's Guide: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRAVGjiJbSYUrOWB8jEzqG7hMwVbZqvCiAbVmOeL25hoEmN909H-BtGjEawmTMZLta5qHfhGydWDqQd/pub

Features

  • Light-weight, self-extracting install creator
  • Project-based; create your install project once, then re-build when your files have changed without any modifications
  • Easy drag'n'drop user experience
  • Integrated Javascript system, featuring built-in code editor, with extensive installer-related API to help get the job done
  • Recognizes and replaces environment variables and registry keys in paths
  • Custom HTML content displayable in your welcome (and license) dialog - either in-line or from a file you specify
  • Embed URLs as the file source to pull content from the web, rather than storing it statically in your package
  • Disk spanning, allowing installs to be partitioned into discretely-size chunks for easy distribution with multiple media sources
  • Tools to facilitate License validation
  • Unicode used throughout
  • 64 bit; very large archives are no problem
  • Robust, script-configurable property editor in the user-side install options dialog
  • Command-line operation for hands-free packager and setup operation
