Smart Install Maker

SIM Installer - Welcome page At last! There is now a much smoother and faster way to create setup files for easy installation of applications. As a developer, you will no longer be bogged down learning complex installation programs or yet another awkward scripting language. This guarantees hassle-free programming, quicker market delivery and ultimately a faster turnaround with more satisfied users. Smart Install Maker enables the creation of a professional-looking, custom-made setup file in just a few mouse clicks. The simplicity of Smart Install Maker means:

    * No Scripts
    * No brain twisters
    * No unreasonable charges

Smart Install Maker - Features:

Easy, customizable and expert-level setup files:

    * Create smaller setup files with built-in Ñab compression. Smaller size distributives are quicker to download and give users a better installation experience.
    * Control installation and uninstallation – decide the method, time and contents of installation, modification or removal (including registry, .ini and config files).
    * Check system requirements automatically. If the current system does not comply with the minimum requirements, the installer can notify the user of the problem or automatically abort installation.
    * Customize the installation environment and appearance of wizard screens (eg add gradients or images to the window background, add header image, logo image, etc).
    * Customize screens for display during installation (eg license agreements, readme files, etc).
    * Use the OS native language: automatically identify the language of the target operating system and adjust the screen and message language settings accordingly.
    * Execute custom commands, operate with installer variables, verify passwords, customize uninstall, manage uninstall feedback.
    * Ensure a clean uninstall with no leftovers or orphan files, folders, services or registry records.
    * Create silent installations that do not display installation dialogs and messages.
    * Cut development time. Avoid learning new languages or complex software – get hold of the intuitive GUI and enjoy the speedy setup creation process.
    * Don't just pay for a brand name without power or quality! Although Smart Install Maker is low cost, it does not offer useless features like many other supposedly superior products.
