Setup Packager™ 3.5

• Bundle Multiple Installers into a Single EXE - Setup Packager is designed so it can bundle multiple installation programs into a single self-extracting .exe. This can be useful when you are looking for an easy way to bundle a 3rd party installer (e.g. Windows Media Player runtime, Macromedia Flash runtime, etc.) with another existing setup program.
  
  
• Data Compression Reduces Size and Download Times - Setup Packager applies data compression to your installation files so as to reduce the overall size of your single self-extracting .exe and provide faster download times.
  
  
• Small Overhead - The self-extractor is written in tight C and C++ source code, so it's small in size. And because it uses data compression, it's possible for it to add zero or less overhead to the overall size of your installation.
  
  
• Authenticode® Digital Code Signing - An Authenticode signature is like digital shrink-wrap for your software. It lets your customers know that the content of your package file is safe and hasn't been altered or corrupted.
  
  
• Password Protection - You can optionally password protect your single-exe extractor, so that the user must provide the password to open the file.
  
  
• Expiration Date - You can specify an expiration date for your package, so that users will not be able to open the file after that date.
  
  
• Custom Welcome Prompt - You can create a welcome prompt for your package file (e.g. a welcome message with an OK button, a question with Yes and No buttons, etc.). When a user opens your package file, he or she will see this prompt as a dialog box.
  
  
• Nest Packages - You can create packages inside packages, to any level of depth. Combining with prompts makes it possible to implement advanced logic for conditional component installation.
  
  
• Easy to Use Authoring Wizard - Creating a single package file is easy with Setup Packager. The application guides you through this simple process.
  
  
• Unlimited Royalty-Free Distribution - You can distribute an unlimited number of copies of our self-extractor as part of your product installations. We do not charge any royalties or other hidden fees.
