CyberInstaller
Suite 2008 v1.2
The ideal software solution to
create powerful and reliable installation packages in the easiest and
quickest way. Now supports Microsoft Windows Vista and UAC.
CyberInstaller Suite
is a packetization and installation software oriented to any kind of
developer. Thus, it can be applied to any language or development
environment (.Net, C++,
C#, Delphi, Java, PHP, Visual Basic, .Net, etc.) and can be used either
by the occasional programmer (free version) or by the professional
developer (registered version).
The "Free" version is
completely free of charge and allows you to distribute your own
software in the easiest and cheapest possible way. Personal and Professional
licenses make possible to use the software at the maximum of its
capabilities, the latter allowing you to distribute any commercial
software with no limitation at all. CyberInstaller Suite (CIS)
highlights itself from other installers for the great easy of use
joined to the many functionalities and the
great versatility offered.
 With
CyberInstaller Suite you can
now distribute
your software in a quicker and more effective way.
Modules
embedded in the last available version
are:
CyberInstaller is
the
heart of CyberInstaller Suite. It is, in fact, the installer that
your end users will see and it will make your application to work
properly on any PC with any
Microsoft operating system (Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista).
CyberInstaller
Studio
is
the software that will make it possible the creation of the installation packages, and
allows, through a rich graphical user interface,
to prepare the necessary folders structure and the creation of the
installation script relying on your settings. All that in a completely
automatic and
assisted way. Furthermore CyberInstaller Studio
gives you the possibility to
transform the created package in a compressed auto-extracting
executable file. This guarantees the distribution of
your application through only one file and the end
user will not have to
do anything else other than run such file to launch the package
decompression and to initialize its setup, everything in a
completely transparent way.
CyberInstaller Extractor
is the module needed to decompress the auto-extracting executable and, after that, to run the created installation package.
CyberInstaller Suite Updater is the module for auto-searching and auto-install the on-line updates for all the CyberInstaller Suite modules. Installed beginning from version 3.50 of CyberInstaller Studio, it can be run through a special button in the toolbar, or, by default, it runs silently at every CyberInstaller Studio
startup up (you can disable this at every moment), revealing it only
when the installation of an any module of the suite is required.
Main features
CyberInstaller
Suite relies
its strength on some points that differentiate it from
all the other similar software on the market, making it
really the simplest, most versatile, cheapest and most powerful
installer available:
-
installation/removal engine, compact, fast and
reliable: the setup engine (CyberInstaller) allows to distribute your
packages on any version of Windows, also without Windows Installer
installed
(and therefore
without having to force the end user to a possible updating of this
component). Besides, thanks to its small size, it allows you to create
extremely compact installation packages and therefore fit them for the
internet distribution.
-
detailed
report of
any change effected to the system destination during the installation
and the
removal: every action done by the installation/removal engine carefully
comes recorded to video in real time
(you can disable this setting) and in a text file, so that it will be
easy be go back to all the changes brought to the system by the any
package installation/removal.
-
roll-back: possibility
to bring the system back to the conditions before the
installation in a completely transparent and quick way: it
allows, in case
of problems, to proceed with the restoring of the system to its
preceding conditions (surely working). This cannot be done with a
simple removal, but it is something more, it is the roll-back of
the system.
If enabled during the creation of the installation package, it will
automatically used during the setup, so that all the
changes effected to the system will be recorded and a backup copy of
any replaced file will be accomplished. This way, during the removal,
it will be possible for the installation engine
(therefore in a completely transparent way) to restore the system in
the exact condition preceding the setup. All this automatically and
without the user intervent.
- wizard for
the creation of installation packages, endowed with a simple,
intuitive, and functional graphic user interface, that will make
possible to create in just a few minutes a fully
functional installation package, reducing at the lowest rate the
possibility to make mistakes. It has a Find Dependencies
tool, able to manage Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland Delphi and .Net
(any language) projects. Furthermore it gives you the possibility to
compress the created package in an unique auto-extracting file.
- Edition in "Free"
license is completely free of charge and it will allow to create freeware package without any limitations (only the advanced features will be disabled).
- multilanguage support: Italian
and English included, but it will be possible to use the Translator
intergrated tool to create definition language file in any language.
Durint the package creation, Studio will do the job of including just
the desired languages for you and, if more languages are found, at the beginning of the installation the user will be asked for the installation language.
- Find Dependencies tool,
completely automatic: it finds all dependencies of a VB, Delphi, .Net
(any language) project, or of any executable, and adds the run-time
required files. It correctly recognize DAO, ADO, CrystalReports,
ActiveReports, the .Net framework, third parties OCX, system files,
used databases, resource files, etc..
- support to the Microsoft .NET technology, from version 1.x and 2.0, to the newest 3.0 and 3.5: CyberInstaller Suite is ready to be used with projects
created with any .Net language, correctly adding the right framework version and any other required item to make
software written using this technology work properly.
- creation and serial code management: Studio
allows you to create a virtually infinite number of serials, everyone
different from each other, relying on an unique generating key of your
choice or randomly created. This will guarantee the possibility to mark
your own installation packages, even each copy of them or for every
type of user, allowing you to keep track of your users installation.
- compatibility with Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP SP2: no issues with the
most recent Microsoft operating systems. Future versions will be
supported as soon as possible, with the release of quick updates, like
for the now old Windows 9x versions (although unsupported by Microsoft itself).
- support to Microsoft Windows Installer (.msi) packages and Merge Modules (.msm):
CyberInstaller gives you full support to Windows Installer, guaranteeing
full compatibility with .msi packages and merge modules (with automatic
conversion, if necessary). This is to guarantee the most easy
distribution for those components usually not very trouble-free and
already packaged by the manufacturer with Windows Installer, as the most
recent Microsoft technology.
- components installation in side-by-side
mode: possibility to install some criticals components with this special
installation mode, allowed by Microsoft starting from Win98SE. This way
even the most hard-to-install components can be distributed in the most
simple way in the same folder where the executable is placed, avoiding
lots of troubles that can make installations really annoying
(registration of more versions of the same component/library,
overwriting of old versions, etc.).
- assisted font installation:
installing particoular fonts (characters-set) on the destintation system
has never been easier! CyberInstaller allows you to add any font in an
automatic and fully assisted way, in the easier way. Furhtermore,
installing fonts on the destination system now does not need any system
reboot.
- selectable output media among a
compressed autoextracting executable (which you can give a custom icon),
a package ready to be burnt on removeable disk (CD/DVD, with automatic
autorun support and custom icon) or a web page ready to
be uploaded on your web site, with a link that will allow users to
download the package immediately.
And, last but not least, the possibility to contact and interact directly with the
author
for a continuous improvement and development of new features.
Because remember: your feedback is vital to make our software grow up following your needs.
