Introduction
============

Freeman Installer & Uninstaller v1.5 is an install utility facilitating
the installation of Windows applications. Installer creates install log
automatically.  Uninstaller  reads  the  log  and  displays the changes
in  a  structured & easy-to-read format and, on request, tries to  undo
the changes. A  front end generating INF files to be interpreted and/or
generating C++ source files to be compiled and linked to get a tailored
and  integrated  EXE  without  the  need  to add a single line of code. 
Selective installation. Setting/adding  INI entries, registration keys. 
Displays dialog boxes while copying files. File  version checking. Easy 
variable substitution. Customizations  by C++ subclassing. Suitable for
anyone, from  dummy  to  C/C++  programmer. Context sensitive, Example-
based online doc (many common customizations are discussed).

The  unregistered version is fully functioning. The only difference  is
that  the  EXE files created from the unregistered class lib will  draw
a text string "unregstered" at the lower left corner of the screen.



What's new in v1.52?
====================

v1.52 is the second maintenance release of v1.5.

It fixes the following bugs in v1.51,
- Installer Couldn't create a file in root directory
- Installer crashed when creating more than about 10 program items
- Constructor switched "reboot" and "don't reboot"
- Constructor generated stupid code (harmless though) causing warnings
- Constructor  used  genuine  inch  to convert between point and pixel
  while Windows uses logical inch

Other changes,
- The class lib is now included in the unregistered version. The  only
  difference  is  any EXE built from the unregistered class  lib  will
  always display a text string "unregistered" at the lower left corner
  of the screen
