The easiest way to prepare a floppy distribution is to build your setup executable right onto the floppies. Simply choose your floppy drive letter (e.g. "A:") as the Output folder and set the Output file segment size setting to "Largest possible." Setup Factory will automatically fill each floppy disk to its capacity and then ask for additional disks as required. Setup Factory will create a file called setup.exe on the first disk, setup.2 on the second, setup.3 on the third, etc. |
The fully qualified name of a file to execute before the build process begins. In other words, this is the complete drive, directory and filename of a program to run before the setup executable is generated.
Any command line arguments that should be passed to the program named in the Run Program field.
If checked, Setup Factory will wait until after the program has finished running before it continues. If not checked, Setup Factory will simply start the program and continue with the build process.
The fully qualified name of a file to execute after the build process finishes. In other words, this is the complete drive, directory and filename of a program to run after the setup executable is generated.
Any command line arguments that should be passed to the program named in the Run Program field.
If checked, Setup Factory will wait until after the program has finished running before it continues. If not checked, Setup Factory will simply start the program and continue without waiting.
