Actual Installer v.4.0SW 4187 k 20 Mar 2012
By Softeza Development. Actual Installer simplifiers the job of the software developer and makes distributing programs more cost effective and convenient even for those just getting into the industry. The program was created to help developers of any skill and experience level easily put together distributives that can be packaged with their software for distribution. These distributives are necessary so end users can install the software on their systems.

File unpacking, component checking, uninstall support, file association setting, and writing to the registry are all part of what these distributives do and what can easily be created with the Actual Installer. Additionally, the software can package auto updaters, feedback support for when users uninstall the program, multiple language installations, and more to provide even greater usefulness to software developers. This program has an easier to use interface, as well as a more affordable price. The created windows installer packages can be used on both CD and downloadable versions of software so developers have a wide-range of distribution options available.

Regardless of the type of software being developed, the Actual Installer makes distributing it to end users less difficult while ensuring that end user receives everything needed to properly install and run the finished program.

Many companies have opted for the Actual Installer instead of resorting to using custom-built and much more expensive installation systems. The reason is simple - Actual Installer has everything a professional developer needs at a great price.

This easy-to-use Windows application uninstaller makes your computer run more efficiently by removing software and files that were left behind after you uninstalled software that you no longer use. In addition, the program performs a number of cleanup activities, making your computer more secure.

Very few software programs uninstall completely from your computer. Among the things left behind are unnecessary folders, obsolete files, and graphics that will never be used.

Advanced Uninstaller PRO can uninstall all of these files, folders, and programs.

Uninstalling a program is as easy as selecting its name from a list, or dragging and dropping a file or a shortcut on the Advanced Uninstaller PRO desktop icon.

Advanced Uninstaller PRO's built-in Startup Manager gives you control over the programs that are automatically started by Windows, and offers you detailed information about each of them, including advice about what the program does and whether you should disable it. Advanced Uninstaller PRO includes a huge knowledge base containing startup program descriptions, giving you the ability to distinguish between essential Windows components that you want to keep, and dangerous spyware programs that you want to remove.

InstallAware Developer for Windows Installer v.15SW 15961 k 26 Nov 2012
By InstallAware Software Corporation. Some features:
  • Simplified Installation Wizard Based Windows Installer MSI Development: InstallAware's powerful MSIcode simplifies setup development by transparently managing all of your Windows Installer conditions, installation sequences and parameters using a concise and human-readable setup language. Drop-in setup actions are configured using dialogs, without requiring programming skills. MSIcode builds a standard Windows Installer database package that fully supports advertising, install-on-demand, elevated privilege installation, and resiliency.
  • Mirrored Code and Visual Development: InstallAware's advanced development tools include wizards, templates, drag-and-drop editing, and refined task views-with the added benefit of immediate MSIcode generation. Start a project in seconds in with visual tools, then switch to the Code View to add branching logic, variables, and advanced configuration options. Unlike InstallShield's isolated script and visual environments, when you modify settings in one view, the other view changes instantly.
  • One-Click Technology Preinstalls: Deploy technology modules and runtimes, such as Microsoft SQL Express 2008 R2, from your setup in a single step. Any related preinstalls are added to your project automatically. Plus, the preinstall sequence branches by platform.
  • Multi-Core Compression: InstallAware uses all available processor cores during the build process to reduce build times. You have the latest in hardware - why let your software hold you down? Build twice as fast with a dual core processor, and four times as fast with a quad core processor. Scale up to more cores effortlessly and automatically.
  • Superior Compression: Reduce the size of your setups and download packages by up to 5x with the LZMA compression algorithm and BCJ2 compression pre-processors. Only InstallAware provides advanced compression for Windows Installer setups.

InstallAware Free for Visual Studio v.15FW 15985 k 13 Dec 2012
By InstallAware Software Corporation. InstallAware's new Free Installer runs inside Visual Studio and creates setups automatically, by scanning your loaded solutions for dependencies and output files, and including them in your setup. This special edition of InstallAware is freeware. You will be able to set basic project properties for your InstallAware setup directly inside the Visual Studio environment. You will also be able to reuse projects created by InstallAware's Free Edition outside of Visual Studio, by loading them inside the full-blown InstallAware IDE, which is available with higher editions of InstallAware.

A Go-Live License is included with InstallAware Free Edition, meaning you are allowed to redistribute setups created using the freeware version of InstallAware without restrictions or limitations, completely royalty free, even for commercial use.

As you step up to higher editions of InstallAware, and modify the setup projects created by the Add-In, you may find that you need to re-synchronize recent changes made to your Visual Studio solution with your existing, modified setup project. This is also possible, because the InstallAware Visual Studio Add-In is smart and preserves your existing changes, while automatically picking up changes made to your Visual Studio solutions and reflecting them in your InstallAware setup project automatically.

InstallAware Free Edition does require Visual Studio, and is compatible with Visual Studio 2003, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2010, and Visual Studio 2012. All of the application runtimes provided with paid editions of InstallAware are also included in the freeware version. You even get all of the setup themes that ship with paid editions of InstallAware, including our new ground-breaking Aero Glass themes. Remember, InstallAware is the only installer that can produce setups which comply with the latest Aero Wizard specifications.

LizaJet Installer for Delphi Developers v.1.2FW 6913 k 02 Mar 2004
By LizaJet. LizaJet Installer for Delphi Developers is the very first installer created with Delphi developers in mind. Installations created with the program work under all versions of Windows.

The LizaJet Installer for Delphi Developers lets you create installations without doing any programming at all if you desire. Advanced users can rely upon the Object Pascal Script as well as on the Dialog Editor, the Script Editor, and the built-in debugger. The fully object oriented Object Pascal Scripting Engine supports script based classes as well as inheritance. This gives installations the functionality that only a general-purpose language can provide.

Gone are the limitations that are imposed by using special scripting languages. With the LizaJet Installer for Delphi Developers you can define your own dialogs using built-in templates and edit them with the Dialog Editor. As with Delphi, you can define properties, event handlers, and drop visual components.

The 'Action Designer' lets you control the installation sequence exactly the way you want. Not only do your installations work with all versions of Windows, but they can also handle the network and proxy settings of Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and Opera. The integrated translation tool can translate dialogs and constants in your Pascal script to different languages. Define environment variables, Registry settings, and even include ActiveX objects.

The fully operational and licensed Free Edition has everything you need to create installations, including Package Wizard, Code Editor, Dialog Editor, Action Designer, Debugger, and comprehensive Installation Library. You can use this astonishing installer for many years to come or upgrade to one of the more powerful editions.

System requirements: LizaJet Installer for Delphi Developers will run under Windows 95, 98, ME, and Windows XP. It also supports Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. It requires 128MB of RAM and 10 Mb of free hard disk space.

My Inno Setup Extensions v.3.0.6.2FW 1400 k 28 Mar 2006
By Martijn Laan. My Inno Setup Extensions is currently based on Inno Setup 3.0.6. My Inno Setup Extensions adds 'Pascal scripting' to Inno Setup, adds child components and tasks support to Inno Setup, uses a modern looking Setup icon and comes bundled with Inno Setup Preprocessor.

The Pascal scripting feature (modern Delphi-like Pascal) adds lots of new possibilities to customize your Setup at run-time. Some examples:

  • Support for aborting setup startup under custom conditions.
  • Support for modifying existing wizard pages and adding new custom wizard pages to Setup at run-time.
  • Support for extracting and calling DLL, EXE or other files from the Pascal script before, during or after the installation.
  • Support for scripted constants that can do anything the normal constants, the read-from-registry, read-from-ini and read-from-commandline constants can do + more.
  • Support for run-time removal of types, components and/or tasks under custom conditions.
  • Support for conditional installation of [Files], [Registry], [Run] etc. entries based on custom conditions.
  • Lots of support functions to do from the Pascal script just about everything Inno Setup itself does/can do + more.
  • An integrated run-time debugger to debug your custom Pascal script is also available.
Further more the bundled Inno Setup Preprocessor allows you to:
  • Conditionally compile parts of a script.
  • Use compile time variables.
  • Use built-in functions which for example can read from the registry or INI files at compile time.
:All features of My Inno Setup Extensions have been merged into the 'official' Inno Setup 4 and it is now recommended to download and use Inno Setup 4 instead of My Inno Setup Extensions. Development on My Inno Setup Extensions features will be continued as part of Inno Setup 4 development.

  • create standard or Windows wizard-styled packages and change any detail of your package's design: icon, splash screen, dialogs, billboards, version info... Show your own company advertisement.
  • organize your files into components, set destination paths, ask end users for which components to install, add conditions to file extraction
  • add custom actions and configure them visually to do what you want: prompt users; detect system configuration; create shortcuts; read/write registry keys and .ini files; modify file properties; work with variables; use If/Then conditionals or goto statements; display dialogs like readme, license agreement, info panel, wait messages, message boxes; execute program or document files; copy or manage files; use plug-ins to add functionality...
  • make multi-language packages for international distribution
  • password protect files, add integrity checks, digitally sign your packages (code signing) with Microsoft Authenticode to increase the security of your files
  • select between three efficient file compression methods: Zip, 7-Zip (LZMA and BCJ2) and Cabinet (LZX, MSZIP)
  • include uninstallers to remove changes made by packages
  • automate Paquet Builder to customize and create packages silently (command-line builds, directives, daily builds...)
  • and much more.
No scripting is required, everything is done visually in the XP-like logically-organized interface. A context-sensitive help file, resources and samples are also included.

Available in three editions: Freeware, Trial and Registered (shareware).
