AWinstall

Creating a professional setup package for distributing your software may be a tough nut to crack. Bored with bloated setups and fat installers? Don't want to waste time learning cryptic setup scripts?

AWinstall is a professional installation development system for creating .NET and Win32-based setups. With AWinstall, you can create compact multilingual setups for delivering your software on CD/DVD or via the net. It combines a minimal installer footprint (about 40K-70K, depending on selected components) with a robust and a user-friendly development environment.

AWinstall comes with a wide variety of features that software developers are likely to find very handy. These include creating dynamic folders, COM registration actions (DLL In-Proc servers, Type Libraries, Windows NT Services), a compression algorithm superior to ZIP, the option to add your own graphics to installation windows as well as a multiple integration option with ActiveX and VBScript/JScript.

A modern user interface, a help system and wizards allow you to create professional setups in minutes and test it from within the IDE.
