Finish your application - the build function |

Applies
to:
Working with BrowserBob
Using the build functionality
you create an application that is executable as a standalone application
on Windows systems fully independent from the BrowserBob authoring environment.
Nothing else needs to be installed on the target system. The application
you distribute is fully independent. BrowserBob offers a variety of different
methods to finalize your standalone application.
Building
of your final application can be done different ways, generating different
output programs. In your version you can generate the following program
types:
|
Executable:
creation of a single selfextracting "Application.exe" for easy
publishing and single file distribution.
This method packs all files needed into a single executable file, which
you can publish or distribute easily. Use this method for web-publishing
or for sending your browser to colleagues & friends. The browser application
will launch like any other application after double-clicking the exe-file.
You can use your own customized icon for the file.

Setup:
custom-setup-wrapper for your application. Create a real branded setup,
with custom interface, icon, licence info and more.
Besides creating the actual program files, the extended method builds a
setup routine and wraps it around your weblication. This setup routine
works like a wizard that guides users through the installation process
as you know it from other applications. It allows the user to choose the
destination folder for the installation, to name the start-menu shortcut,
etc... Here you can also assign your own desktop and program icon and
License and Readme files. The setup file generated by this method is a
single standalone "setup.exe"
file.

Raw files:
create all files into a special folder for CD/DVD use, to create setups
with 3rd party setup makers or to integrate your application into other
application structures.
This method creates all files into a directory of your choice. Since this
plain method does not offer an installation routine, it is the method
to use if you want to burn your project on a CD or DVD, create a setup
with a third party installer, or to integrate your application into an
existing application structure. All generated files are necessary for
executing the application. Launch the "ApplicationName.exe"
to run it.
