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.
