GP-Install Configuration Builder

I love this installer. It has True WYSIWYG preview, and you can use a default professional look or add your own graphic as your logo. It recongnizes which windows the installer has and can be made to install different files for Win9X, or Windows 2000, or XP. It has built in compression and I find it very easy to use for Liberty Basic Installations. You can even have the option for Full Install, Compressed Install, or Custom install. It has variables for all the different directorys so you can place files in the install directory, system directory,and many others. Add to system INI files or create your own. Registry entry changes are also easy.

GP-Install is a powerful Install builder. A list of some of its features is presented below:

• Easy to use.
  • GP-Install uses familliar methods to build up your installation. Extensive use of context sensitive popup menus is used so you can instantly see the options available at any time.
• True WYSIWYG preview
  • As you develop your installation, and particularly in the Dialogs section, there are frequent opportunities for you to preview your work. All previews use the same code as the actuall installer, so what you see is exactly what you'll get in the final installer.
• Self register Activex/COM controls
  • COM servers and Activex controls are automatically detected, and you have the option to self-register them during installation
• Supports true-color bitmaps and JPEG files
  • Obviously, when you create your installation, you want it to look as good as possible. GP-Install supports JPEG images and any bitmaps.
• Billboards
  • You can specify billboard images to display during installation of your product. Billboards can be of different sizes, and can be different graphics format.
• Compression
  • GP-Install has built-in compression to keep the size of your installation as small as possible.
• Extensions
  • You can add your own extensions to GP-Install. GP-Install supports Executable extensions, DLL extensions, and COM based extensions. Extensions are automatically comressed into your installation, and decompressed as required.
• Single-file installation
  • GP-Install creates a single executable installation file. It can also split an installation across several floppies.
• Multilingual
  • All displayed text in the actual installation can be translated.
