Quick Tour
CreateInstall is specialized software that allows you to control the entire installation process for all applications. This handy installer enables the specification of command sequences. Once the program complexities have been mastered, CreateInstall can be used as a highly powerful and flexible tool. Although CreateInstall does not allow the editing of installation script in the form of a wizard, you can use CreateInstall Light to create a project and specify general settings and operations. This project can then be incorporated into CreateInstall at any time. Here follows a description of the general operational settings for CreateInstall.
Project settings are divided into several groups located in the corresponding tabs. You can obtain help for the current settings at any time by pressing F1 or clicking the help button. The Output and Project tabs are used to specify general installation settings, such as the name, icons, additional resources, installation languages, and uninstall verification, etc.
The Files tab should be used to specify which files are to be included in the installation package. Installation files should be divided into groups, with separate compression settings specified for each group. For example, one group of files is installed in the system directory, another group contains application files, and a third group consists of files installed in a subdirectory. All groups of packaged files are installation resources that can be unpacked several times into different directories.
The Installation tab contains an installation script in the form of a command sequence, with command options including add, remove or edit. Some commands have a folder icon located on their left, which means they can be double clicked or opened by pressing Enter in order to specify a new sequence of commands. For example, all commands in 'Dialog - Progress' are executed as soon as this dialog box is opened; the user can only move on to the next dialog box when all these commands have been executed. Similarly, the 'Popup Window' command shows a dialog box or image during execution of all commands featured within it.
Please note, it is not recommended that commands be inserted between the 'Dialog - ...' commands. If you wish to perform additional checks or operations while moving from one dialog box to another, please contact our support service and we will help you implement the necessary operations. 
The Uninstall tab contains the uninstall script for your application. By default, it removes all files, directories, registry values and other objects created during the installation process. If you wish to change the way it works, you must specify your own commands as you as you would for the setup of the installation process.
