The easy and powerful way to create Windows(r) Installer Packages (*.MSI files). Simple installer wizard interface allows creation of full-blown Windows(r) installations. Components and Features - The Windows(r) Installer organizes an installation around the concepts of components and features. A feature is a part of the application's total functionality that a user may decide to install independently. A component is a piece of the application or product to be installed. Files and Directories - Easily specify the application or products directory structure and files with a browse dialog. Control how and which files are installed with simple combo boxes. Install advertised shortcuts to desktop, startup folder, etc. DLL self-registration. The installer calls the DLLRegisterServer function during installation of the module; it calls DLLRegisterServer during un-installation of the module. The installer does not self-register EXE files. Fonts - Specify fonts to be registering font files with the system by simply selecting the font file. Windows Registry - Allows merging of registry data from .REG files. Custom User Interface Configuration - Create custom dialogs using Edit, Combo, Checkbox and Radiobutton controls.
