OpenSETUP v1.0



OpenSETUP v1.0 Source


Description

This application is only an example how a setup routine with a script language can be programmed. I did this in my free time to get closer to the Win32 API and the installation routine of applications. This project is a working installation routine which looks like InstallShield. But the script language is another.

FEATURES:
- select parts of a program to install
- add/remove parts from the installation
- full script language
- description for each of the parts
- creating file assoations
- zip compressing with password as serial number.
- two languages: german, english
- more languages can be add
- register OCX/DLL's
- creating menu items
- installation type (compact, full ...)
- add registry entries
- full graphic interface (looks like InstallShield)
- status line with percent
- background picture
- picture for dialogs
- background gradient (e.x. from BLUE to BLACK)
- many dialogs:
- serial number (encryption used)
- licence text
- ...
- anti cracking routine (exe validation)
- anti file errors, too
- small setup file (compressed by UPX)
- the configuration files like setup.ini are compressed and easy crypted (you must change the password in usr.zip and setup.cpp!)

HOW TO CREATE SETUP:
Look at the good_sample.zip (you can find it in the download).

VERY IMPORTANT: The setup will unzip the files with their attributes.
So be carefull, if the files saved from writing they can't be uninstalled (deleted) under Windows XP!
