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.
