1.Introducing
Welcome to the one of the best setup toolkit! InPack v1.51 has been
designed to make creating a professional installation fast and easy.
Therefore, it will be easy for your user to install your's applications.
All that and you don't write a single line of code.
In today world of computers, there are many illegall copies of all
kind of computer programs. How to protect authors of all programs by
not allowing no one else to make installation disks but authors of
these programs, is one of the main task in this program package. If we
presume that are most of users can't change executable files, applications
installed with program package 'InPack v1.51' will be very safe from
coping them, or from install then for more then one user.
This is the main diference of this program package comparing to other
similar programs. When your user launches installation program, he or she
will be asked to write serial number (which is create by you), name and
address. After confirming entered data, in next installation process
he or she won't be able to change this data. Next step in program
protection is writing this data directly to executable program due
installation process (this data you can use in reports, forms etc.).
Data are encrypted by here given formula, before writing to file.
If user return installation disk(s) (damaged or something) you will be
able to see his or she data, and return him new installation disk(s)
now with entered his data.
2. Making installation flopy disks
After launching MIFiles.exe (Make Installation Files) program, on screen
will apear menu with sixth options. With keys up and down you can move
troughth menu. By pressing key Enter you can choose selected option.
To make proper installation disk(s) you have to pass option 1 to 5.
2.2.5. Encode key
Encode key will be used to encrypt your user information. Encrypted
information will be written in file you chose in section 2.2.2. Here
is program who encrypt and decrypt string with same key. If you don't
want to encrypt your user information, just leave this field empty.
function Code(inWord, key: string): string;
var i: byte;
result: string;
begin
result := '';
for i:=1 to Length(inWord) do
result := result + chr( ord(inWord[i]) xor
ord(key[(i mod Length(key))+1]));
Code := result;
end;
3. Application installation
To install application made with MIFiles program, you just
type Install. After welcome note you entered, press enter to
continue. After that user will have to enter some information
about him, and also a serial number.

just confirm with Enter key destination directory. Program will
now install application and notify you about succesfull ending.
