- 1. Introduction
- ----------------
- Setup Specialist 97b is a rapid setup development tool for Windows(r) 95 and
- Windows NT(r). Setup Specialist offers a user-friendly visual development
- environment that does not require you to learn any script language...all
- options can be set using a wizard-like graphical interface. It provides a
- training card feature that guides you through all the steps necessary to
- create your setup program. Creating a professional-looking setup program for
- your software has never been easier!
- Setup Specialist creates 32 bit as well as 16 bit setup programs and provides
- support for selective installations, uninstall, creation of program groups
- and registry modifications and creates English as well as German setup
- programs. The setup programs created by Setup Specialist are featured by the
- typical Windows 95 wizard appearance. Setup can check for a variety of
- existing requirements including minimum display properties and CPU, Windows
- platform and version. Creating a single EXE file allows you to easily
- distribute your applications in a single file, through the web, internet, and
- even E-mail. And finally Setup Specialist supports many other features, e.g.
- billboards, checking for an expiration date, efficient data compression,
- modification of INI files, password protection, and more.
