- WinSetup 2.1 BETA
-
- NB: This is the first and the last (I hope) BETA release
- of WinSetup 2.1
-
- Thank you for examining BeastWare's WinSetup product.
- An attempt to bring a professional and stable Installation
- Package to the general public. WinSetup is a well-designed,
- easy-to-use installation utility that rivals or surpasses
- other commercial installation programs. The intention is to
- make it easy for the user to include a powerful installation
- program for the Windows environment. WinSetup can be used to
- install any product to the Windows environment, including
- other software, presentations, price lists, etc. All you need,
- besides WinSetup, is an ASCII/ANSI editor.
- WinSetup is controlled completely by a single INI-style
- configuration file. Nearly all the parameters available in
- the file are optional. You can run a installation so simple
- it contains only a few brief lines or you can go for the giant
- multiple disk installation.
-
- The benefits of this software can be summarized as the following.
-
- * Easy to understand and use for all users.
- * Easy configuration.
- * Easy to change installation language.
- * Fast and safe installation.
- * Small size of program file.
- * Capable of expanding compressed source files.
- * Capable of modifying Windows initialization files.
- * Capable of updating Windows registration database.
- * Capable of installing items in Windows shell (Program Manager).
- * Capable of installing from different disks or directories.
- * Desktop bitmap or Metafile.
- * Shifting bitmaps or Metafiles during file copy.
- * Selective installation (installation options).
- * File version or date stamp checking.
- * File assembling from multiple volumes
- * Complete help system.
- * Attractive window layout.
- * "Multitasking" during installation.
- * Progress meter both in minimized and normal window status.
- * Space checking on destination drive.
- * 3D controls.
- * Low price.
-
- WinSetup is not free, it is released as Shareware.
- See chapter "Shareware conditions and registration" for more
- information. If a distributed product is released as a Public
- Domain or Freeware version, (no expenses, in any way, for the
- end user) WinSetup can be used free of change, and distributed
- with the released product (not documentation). The only
- obligation is to send a note either by mail or e-mail to the
- copyright holders with the name of the product to install,
- including your company and/or name plus address. You may not
- use WinSetup in any way to install Shareware or other commercial
- products, without a registration of WinSetup.

- the following internet locations.
