Description
Get it from http://www.freeware-alternative.uni.cc/, i will be releasing code soon after proper commenting. A Complete GUI NSIS Script Based Free Installer : A software installer and uninstaller for Microsoft© Windows© 95, 98, Me, NT© 4, 2000 and XP applications. Its design goals are to provide Windows-compliant installation and removal functionality with a small distribution size, a straightforward and simple wizard interface, and install and uninstall support using modern theme. All that FREE , No Ad ware , No Spy ware , Soon will be made Open-Source.
Main Features
1). Approximately 80-140k overhead over Uncompressed data size (after UPX PE compression and bzip compression most of the times the installer will be less then original combined file size). for example the original size of this 1.1 Mb installer of QDW is more then 2.5 Mb that is more then 50% compression.
2). Generates self contained, win32 executable installer, with Auto Register for DLL, OCX files.
3). Full Uninstall support.
4). Support for adding VB Project directly, most entries will be filled automatically including OCX used by the project (DLL scan will be added soon).
5). Customizable appearance ( icons, header image etc.)
6). optional Support to include .Bmp splash screen with fading effects (2000/XP) and optional accompanying sound.
7). Installers can be as large as 2GB (theoretically -- when building on Win9x the limit seems to be around 500MB, however building on NT then installing on Win9x works with larger sizes)
8). Support to add shortcuts to both Start Menu & Desktop.
9). Recursive adding of whole directory , no need to add individual files.
10). Based on NSIS SuperPiMP© technology.
11). It's absolutely FREE, with ever increasing Functions version by version, soon i will be making the source code available to help in its Development.
To Do List
1). Installation and uninstalltion of Shared Dll's using shared referenced count method.
2). multilingual Support.
3). More Customizable.
