Short description: Deciding between a free scripting installer and a feature-bloated enterprise solution? Save time on software deployment and eliminate any learning curve by creating installation packages in just minutes!
There are free installers out there, but are they worth their zero price tag? Spartan user interfaces force you to learn scripting languages in order to create a basic install. Are several hours of wasted time worth the monetary savings?
The enterprise installation solutions are bloated with features, taking hours of your time to master their complexity. Combine that with hefty price tags, and they become hard to justify.
Smart Install Maker offers you the best of two worlds. It is simple to use, allowing you to create a perfectly usable installation package in just a few minutes, yet all the features are there, making it possible to create complex installation paths with very little effort.
Even if you've never dealt with installation programs before, Smart Install Maker can be used immediately with no learning curve involved. Its intuitive interface will guide you through the entire process. Simply type information such as the product name, the installation path and your company name, and select the files that should be installed. Then, click Build, and Smart Install Maker will do the rest.
Smart Install Maker allows you to create completely customizable installations, giving you full control. Advanced compression algorithms and extremely small overhead make it possible to create compact installations that are easy to download. Full uninstall control is enabled.
Customize every system requirement as desired, from operating system version to end-user privilege level, specify interactive or silent installation, gain access to registry keys and INI files, execute custom commands and pass values via installer variables - all this is not only possible, but elegantly performed with Smart Install Maker!
