Unlike other tools that make you use script languages or fill out text files or other forms, Setup Factory uses a completely visual, "object oriented" approach. What this means for you is that you can point and click your way to a distribution disk set. Features & Benefits ------------------- Setup Factory was designed with one purpose in mind - to make a powerful installation building utility that is easy to use. Keep in mind that Setup Factory actually builds your disk sets for you! Many other installation kits only help you build the setup.exe - Setup Factory does it all with the click of a button! - No script programming required. - Simple point and click interface. - Object oriented project approach. - Comprehensive user's guide and tutorial. - Control over introduction & conclusion messages. - Choose your own custom background. Use gradient fills, patterns, colors, header and footer text, even 256 color bitmaps! - Create as many icons as you want, with full control over all icon properties such as description, icon image, command line parameters, working directory etc. - Built-in high speed data compression. - Automatically splits large files over multiple disks. - CRC-32 data integrity checking ensures that your customers receive your software the same way it left your system. - System configuration checking detects Windows version, color depth, screen resolution, mouse, math coprocessor etc. - Lets you collect the user's name, company, serial number and up to six other fields of information to be used with the built-in INI file editor. - Stamp a unique serial number on your disk sets and verify that the user enters the proper number before they can install your software. A great copy protection feature! - Can handle installations of up to 999 disks with 2 gigabytes of data! - INI file editor with powerful inline variables, gives you complete control over ANY ini file in ANY location! - Full control over file placement.
