WinSetup 2.0

WinSetup 2.0 is an attempt to bring a more professional and stable
Installation Package to the general public. WinSetup is a well-
designed, easy-to-use installation utility that rivals or 
surpasses other commercial installation programs. The intention
is to make it easy for the user to include a powerful installation
program for the Windows environment. WinSetup can be used to
install any product to the Windows environment, including other
software, presentations, price lists, etc. All you need, besides
WinSetup, is an ASCII / ANSI editor. WinSetup is controlled
completely by a single INI-style configuration file.  Nearly all
the parameters available in the file are optional. You can run a
installation so simple it contains only a few brief lines or you
can go for the giant multiple disk installation.

The benefits of this software can be summaried as the following.

* Easy to understand and use for all users.
* Easy configuration.
* Easy to change installation language.
* Fast and safe installation.
* Small size of program file.
* Capable of expanding compressed source files.

* Selective installation (installation options).
* File version or date stamp checking.
* File assembling from multiple volumes
* Complete help system.
* Attractive window layout.
* Multitasking during installation.
* Progress meter both in minimized and normal window status.
* Space checking on destination drive.
* Low price.

distributed product is released as a Public Domain or Freeware
version, (no expenses, in any way, for the end user) WinSetup 
can be used free of change, and distributed with the released
