Programming Tools and Utilities

Set UP, Install
Advanced Installer 3.4
Advanced Installer is a Windows Installer
authoring tool which enables developers and
system administrators to easily build reliable
MSI packages. Advanced Installer creates a high
level abstraction on top of the underlying
technology. With a clean, simple user interface,
each operation is logical and intuitive.
Everything is done in the user interface,
without complicated scripts to learn or arcane
database tables to edit. It runs on Windows
2K/XP, and the install packages it creates run
on all Microsoft Windows operating systems.
RedShift - Installation System 1.0
RedShift enables you to create a very simple,
smart looking software installer in seconds.
1)Name your installer & choose a splash image,
2)Type or paste in your software license text,
3)Select your folder of files to be installed,
4)Enter shortcuts to your exe and help files,
5)Click 'Build'. That's all there is to it!
RedShift builds a single, self contained
executable file which you can then distribute.
RedShift displays a realtime preview of your
installer while you are working - saving you
time since you don't need to keep rebuilding
just to see if everything looks OK.
UninsHs 2.0
UninsHs is an extension program for Inno Setup,
it allows you to add, repair, modify and remove
support to your applications with minimal
effort. It is very small because it is written
in Assembly, readme file included in the package
with full instructions on how to use UninsHs
with your own application setups.

registry etc using an XML like script. Can be

self-extracting, executable maker. It also
allows you to specify which file should be
launched immediately after the self-extracting
executable is done decompressing/unpacking. This
"launch" file may be any kind of file,
including, but not necessarily an executable
file.
HJ-Install 3.5.3
HJ-Install is a freeware installer for Windows
created with Internet distributed, CD-Rom,
single-floppy and multi-floppy installations in
mind, but it can also be used in network
situations and as a stand-alone scripting
engine. The current version can create install
directories, copy files into them, create
program-groups and items, copy whole directory
structures, and interact with the end-user. If
you are distributing a relatively small
application, I'm sure you don't want a
complicated huge installer which adds more than
1 Mb to your package! HJ-Install on the other
hand is small and adds only 138 Kb!
Xenoage Java Exe Starter 2.0
In Java you can generate executable jar-files
but most Windows users are only familiar with
exe files. Moreover it is not possible to assign
icons to a Java Archive. This program solves
these problems by generating an exe, with an
arbitrary icon, that starts the jar when it is
launched.
SSE Setup 3.9
SSE Setup program is a fullly customizable
installation and uninstallation program for
program developers to use for distribution with
their own programs. It can copy files, register
DLL's/OCX's, create/set/delete registry entires
both on installation and uninstallation, create
any number of links to any number of locations,
etc. What makes it different from many other
installation programs included with many
development tools is the ease of use for the
user, and the simpler and easier control by the
developer. It will only install what YOU want it
to install! You have complete control over what
it does!
AGIsBuilder 0.6
AGIsBuilder is a program to create script files
for AGInstaller © AGENTIX Software. Easy access
to parameters and options, the program is
multilingual (English and Dutch). AGIsBuilder is

for your software. The self-extracting
single-file Setups are ideal for internet
distribution. The easy user interface will
reduce your support calls.

Funduc Software ZIP Extractor is a freeware zip
self-extractor stub that allows you to create
self-extracting zip archives that are run as an
executable file. FS ZIP Extractor is used to
modify zip files so that they can be unzipped
without having any unZIP software installed. If

uninstall capabilities. Installation of files.
Silent install and uninstall.
Infstaller 2.10
Infstaller is a tiny utility that performs one
simple but very useful task for programmers: it
automates installing software via INF files. If
you spend a lot of time programming, you'll
probably want to fork out the money to buy
dedicated setup software; if you don't mind
coding your own setup routines, however, you can
create custom installations using setup
information (INF) files. The major drawback in
using an INF file is that your users need to
know to right-click the INF file and choose
Install from the pop-up menu to start the
installation. But now there's Infstaller, a
little program that automatically runs any INF
file in the same folder. Thus to automate your
setup routine, you just copy Infstaller.exe to
the same folder as your INF file and have the
user double-click Infstaller. You can, of
course, rename Installer.exe to setup.exe or
install.exe to make the whole process even
easier.
My Inno Setup Extensions 3.0.2
My Inno Setup Extensions is an enhanced and
free, but unofficial, version of Inno Setup.
Inno Setup is a most excellent and free
installation builder for 16- and 32-bits
programs by Jordan Russell. See http://www.jrsoftware.org
for more information about Inno Setup. My Inno
Setup Extensions is currently based on Inno
Setup 2.0.6 and adds 'advanced Pascal scripting'
to Inno Setup. The advanced Pascal scripting
feature adds lots of new possibilities to
customize your Setup at run-time.
