Setup Factory software has all the things you need to make solid professional software installers that work on every version of Windows. The compressed, single-file setup.exe is ideal for distribution on CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, LAN, web download, email or even floppy disk.
Here are some key features of “Setup Factory”:
Easy to Use Software Installation Builder:
Install Any File – Anywhere:
· Setup Factory features an unbeatable development environment that puts you in total control of your files. Simply drag and drop your files and folders onto the project window and you’re ready to build. Setup Factory is smart enough to maintain your folder structure, automatically query version resource information, create shortcut icons and ensure 100% data integrity with fast and reliable cyclic redundancy checksumming. Of course, everything can be customized and overridden if you wish, but for most projects the easy to use Project Wizard can handle it all with just a few clicks.
Self-Contained, Single-File Setup.exe:
· Smaller and faster means a better experience for your customers and Setup Factory delivers. Compare our performance to the competition and see for yourself. With no “unpacking” step required, Setup Factory installers are quick to initialize and installation is lightning quick. What’s more, our Publishing Wizard walks you through the build process with a few easy steps. The single-file setup.exe is ready for distribution by web, email, USB drive, LAN, CD, DVD and even floppy disk (don’t laugh – some projects have that requirement!).
Native 64-Bit Installer Runtime:
· As development of native 64-bit Windows applications continue to grow, take comfort in the fact that Setup Factory has you covered for your distribution needs. Setup Factory now allows you to generate 64-bit setups in addition to 32-bit installers. Whether you have 64-bit applications ready to go, or just want to be prepared for the future, Setup Factory will be ready and waiting to make your life easier.
Project Wizard Quick-Start:
· Spend five minutes with Setup Factory’s easy to use Project Wizard and come away with a complete, ready to build installation project. You’ll be walked through each option so you can get your project started as quickly as possible.
LZMA2 Data Compression:
· With Setup Factory’s new high performance LZMA2 data compression, you’ll see remarkably smaller installers as well as faster installation performance than ever before. Compared to previous versions, our test results show up to 300% better compression performance and up to 20% faster installation speed. You’ll be able to fit more data on each CD/DVD (that’s a potentially huge manufacturing cost savings) and reduce your bandwidth for Internet distributed installers (that saves both you and your customers time and money). Additionally, customers will notice that your installers finish faster – and that means happier customers!
Flexible Software Uninstaller:
· Setup Factory features a new and improved uninstall feature. Simply turn it on and let Setup Factory worry about removing your files. Anything that is installed during the setup will be marked for removal by the uninstaller. However, if you want to go in and tinker with the settings, you’ll find that the uninstaller is now fully customizable. You can take full control of what files are removed, what shortcut icons are deleted, what registry changes are made and anything else you require. Even the dialog screens and wizard sequence can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Lightning Fast Setup.exe Generation – Increased Install Build Speed:
· Every second counts when it comes to development time. Significant improvements have been made to Setup Factory′s build process meaning that you’ll spend less time building and more time developing.
System Requirements Checking:
· You can easily enforce system requirements just by clicking a few boxes. Built-in checks include an extensive set of choices, including operating system, memory, screen resolution, color depth and administrator privileges. If the user’s system does not meet the minimum requirements you have chosen, the installer can either warn the user or abort the setup entirely.
Advanced Installer Features:
Support for Files Larger Than 2GB:
· Are you distributing massive data files? Setup Factory is up to the challenge. While other installers may choke on files larger than 2GB in size, Setup Factory sails right on through. In fact, with our new LZMA2 data compression, you’ll also get dramatically better compression ratios and lightning fast installs.
Serial Number Checking, Data Security and Installer Expiration Features:
· Setup Factory includes a variety of features designed to help you manage access to your software, including serial number lists and date-based expiration. With its powerful serial number generator you can quickly create thousands of unique serial numbers, which are stored internally as secure MD5 hashes. Hidden from prying eyes, your installer data is compressed using proprietary algorithms and only accessible to those users who supply a valid serial number. Of course, if you’d rather do it yourself, Setup Factory is flexible enough to support your own custom validation and authorization schemes – including Internet based serial number validation or whatever system you prefer.
Installer Packages, Feature Categories and Installation Types:
· Creating installers for complex and multi-part products is now easier than ever. With dramatically improved support for grouping files into packages, it’s a snap to group products and features into a single installer. There’s even support for categories so you can group your packages into logical components. It’s the ultimate in flexibility for those large projects that need to support different installation types like typical, minimum, complete and custom.
Third Party Dependency Checking & Runtime Module Support:
· Instantly add runtime support for many popular third-party technologies, including .NET, Visual Basic, DCOM, JET, MDAC, Windows Installer, Visual C++ and more. Additional dependency modules are easy to create and integrate seamlessly into the development environment. Setup Factory gives you complete control over the detection and installation of each module, so you can easily adjust the behavior to suite your particular requirements.
64 Bit & 32 Bit Runtime Dependency Modules – Latest Technologies:
· In addition to the classic modules like Visual Basic 5.0/6.0, DCOM, JET and MDAC – Setup Factory now includes easy-to-use runtime dependency modules for the newest and most popular technologies, including both 32 bit and 64 bit checking for .NET 4, Visual C++ 2010 and Windows Installer 4.5.
International Language Support – Create Multilingual Installers Right Out of the Box:
· Setup Factory offers unsurpassed support for multilingual installations right out of the box. While some products charge you extra for this essential feature (or don’t offer it at all), Setup Factory gives you everything you need to support your customers and clients around the world. Installers created with Setup Factory can automatically determine the language of the client operating system and adjust the display of screens and messages appropriately. Whether you need to support English, French, German, Spanish, Italian or any other language recognized by Windows, with Setup Factory you simply provide the text and your installer takes care of the rest! A variety of pre-translated language modules are included right out of the box!
Easily Set File / Folder Permissions:
· A powerful new action named “File.SetPermissions” allows you to set the user access permissions of any file or folder on the user’s system. In the past this has been extremely difficult to do, but this essential task for Windows 7 software is now trivial thanks to Setup Factory.
Automatic Authenticode Signing:
· It’s never been faster or easier to codesign your installer executable. Authenticode signing is incredibly important for both Internet downloads and Windows 7 and Windows Vista compatibility. Simply point Setup Factory to your code signing certificate and private key files, give it the description information and it will automatically codesign your setup.exe during the build process
