InstallSimple Pro

If you are about to create a new program, you will need to create a setup package as well. This is a much better solution for distributing your product, because you may include various settings, license information and other elements, which you can not configure when archiving your contents with standard tools. There are numerous applications which are designed for this task, but InstallSimple Pro offers an easier approach. Instead of navigating through countless menus and options, you will have to go through a number of stages, in logical order and make a series of basic configurations.

The software's own setup package takes up only 395 Kb of disc space. You just need to accept the terms and conditions and specify a destination folder to install the program. The process is very fast and you can run the application without the need to install any additional services.

Essentially, InstallSimple Pro is a wizard which guides you through a straightforward process. The first steps involve basic actions, like typing a title, the product's name, messages for the start and end pages and the license agreement. The software allows you to select different images from your hard drive. They will be used as the installation wizard's header, the background, on its first page and as a splash screen, which appears when you launch the wizard.

You can add any files to your package, by selecting its parent folder with a standard browsing option. Additionally, you may specify a default path, where the files will be installed. It is also possible to configure the installation wizard to create desktop shortcuts, Start menu folders, entries in the startup group, programs menu or on the quick launch bar.

Other configurations include creating new registry keys, selecting the Windows versions which are compatible with your product, setting the installation wizard to check for the .NET Framework version or to require administrator rights. Finally, you will have to choose what action should the wizard execute after the installation is complete. It can either close the setup automatically or reboot the computer.
