Instyler Setup is an application to create reliable Windows Installer (MSI) packages based on WiX technology. The product targets everyone who needs a solid Windows Installer based installation for their product or any kind of deployment project.
Unlike other utilities, Instyler Setup does not require in-depth MSI SDK knowledge. All complex MSI specific features have been nicely wrapped to allow very fast and intuitive development even of more complicated tasks like user defined dialogs or configuring prerequisites.
Our long-term experience in software installations allows us to offer quick support and consulting services to implement your unique requirements quickly.
The Features
The following is an overview of the features available in Instyler Setup.
WiX
Instyler Setup creates MSI installation packages based on latest Windows Installer XML (WiX) technology. WiX is an open source project, lead by Microsoft employees, to create MSI files with open standard XML documents.
Intuitive
Create msi setups straight-forward without any MSI knowledge. When we designed Instyler Setup we had in mind that most Windows software developers do not know much about MSI SDK, Orca or what MSI tables do. In Instyler Setup, adding typical stuff (installing files, shortcuts, registry values etc.) is made as intuitive as possible. Adding a custom dialog to ask the user for additional data (text or options) is also made easy with our built-in templates as well as all the other small parts of an installation you might need. And, if you want get into the details, you can still configure every detail in the dialog editor and advanced settings.
Prerequisites
We added a variety of standard prerequisites to support checking for Windows Version, .NET Framework, Adobe Reader, Flash, Java Runtime, Microsoft Office and more.
Multi-language
Localizing your setup into any language is available at no extra charge. English and German texts are available for all texts and dialogs. Other language texts can be imported from MSI SDK language files and the WiX localization project.
Dialog editor
A state-of-the-art dialog editor allows manipulating all dialogs easily. Wizards help you creating events and configuring settings and dialog sequencing in your setup.
File changes at one place
All file actions like installing files, creating shortcuts, moving files, etc. are configured in an Explorer-like view. Instyler Setup supports dynamic file lists to add a number of files during compile time dynamically.
Other setup actions
Your setup may not just have files. With Instyler Setup you can add registry values, file types, environment variables and Windows Services to be created or modified in your Setup. Additional installation actions are already in development and will be available in the next released version of Instyler Setup.
