Here is the latest upgrade to 'the original' alternative SETUP.EXE. See the help file "Change History" topic for a list of new or modified features. This help file describes in great depth how to use SETUP.EXE and all its features.
Although it was originally created for use with Microsoft's Visual Basic (to provide an advanced alternative to the SETUP.EXE supplied with that product) it can easily be used with other Windows development systems.
SETUP.EXE is the program which the user runs to install your application (as in A:\SETUP). It is designed to pre-install specific files (such as DLLs, VBXs and OCXs) which are used by a main Setup program (for VB developers this will generally be SETUP1.EXE) which performs the actual application installation. Once these files are installed SETUP.EXE will run the main Setup program, passing it any user command line parameters.
