Create self-extracting files...
Instyler Ex-it! can fastly compress any number of files to a single self-extracting .exe file. The wizard application guides you through all needed
steps and offers you to select various extra options:
Create simple and "smallest" installations...
Instyler Ex-it! features basic installation capacibilites: You can automaticly create a shortcut while extracting the files from the self-extracting
archive on the desktop or in the start menu and you can add an uninstallation program that automaticly removes the extracted files when the users
selects it from the control panel.
Extract temporarily only...
You can also let the self-extracting file to extract the files temporarily only and run a program (e.g. a viewer or setup program).
After the program terminates all temporarily extracted files will be removed automaticly.
Advanced project management and handling...
Any file information and project options of your self-extracting file is saved into a project file. You can reload these files with the
wizard application or pass it directly to the seperated compiler application. This is useful if you do not want to change any information but
just repackage the self-extracting file with updated source files.
Visual appearance...
Instyler Ex-it! does not only support 22 languages to be selected for the self-extracting files. You can also modify all texts shown during
extraction. You can show specific extra dialogs like a License Agreement or Password dialog. And you can hide all dialogs to have a silent
and fully automatic extraction.
