Introduction
============
Freeman Installer & Uninstaller v1.5 is an install utility facilitating
the installation of Windows applications. Installer creates install log
automatically. Uninstaller reads the log and displays the changes
in a structured & easy-to-read format and, on request, tries to undo
the changes. A front end generating INF files to be interpreted and/or
generating C++ source files to be compiled and linked to get a tailored
and integrated EXE without the need to add a single line of code.
Selective installation. Setting/adding INI entries, registration keys.
Displays dialog boxes while copying files. File version checking. Easy
variable substitution. Customizations by C++ subclassing. Suitable for
anyone, from dummy to C/C++ programmer. Context sensitive, Example-
based online doc (many common customizations are discussed).
The unregistered version is fully functioning. The only difference is
that the EXE files created from the unregistered class lib will draw
a text string "unregstered" at the lower left corner of the screen.
What's new in v1.52?
====================
v1.52 is the second maintenance release of v1.5.
It fixes the following bugs in v1.51,
- Installer Couldn't create a file in root directory
- Installer crashed when creating more than about 10 program items
- Constructor switched "reboot" and "don't reboot"
- Constructor generated stupid code (harmless though) causing warnings
- Constructor used genuine inch to convert between point and pixel
while Windows uses logical inch
Other changes,
- The class lib is now included in the unregistered version. The only
difference is any EXE built from the unregistered class lib will
always display a text string "unregistered" at the lower left corner
of the screen
