InstallConstruct
$395 - FileStream, Inc.

InstallConstruct is a full featured Windows installer program, which is designed with a user-friendly expanding wizard system to make creating Windows 95, 95b, NT 4 (SP1-SP6), 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista Installer, self-extracting Packages, Setup Wizards, and Uninstallers easy. Unlike other Installer and Setup creation programs, InstallConstruct does not require the user to have any programming background; nor does it require the user to learn any application specific language.

InstallConstruct not only creates Setup Wizards and HTML-based installations, it also automatically saves each step of your work in the creation of a project as a package script file (*.adx). These script files not only save you from the repetitive task of creating other similar packages and in updating the existing ones manually, they also support command line batch processing in unattended operation so they can be created automatically, without any user prompts!

These systems are ideal for the efficient and professional distribution and installation of groups of files, economically compressed in size for you and your user's convenience. In addition to creating the installation system, the program offers the convenience of delivering files through the Internet or Intranet, requiring no additional programs for your file installation.

In addition, InstallConstruct supported language scripts include: English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

Plus: the new integrated block-wise compression algorhythm creates smaller output executables in most cases because of msi database headers that can be compressed very good. Test it.

Smart Install Maker
$79.99 - InstallBuilders Company

Deciding between a free scripting installer and a feature-bloated enterprise solution? Save time on software deployment and eliminate any learning curve by creating installation packages in just minutes!

There are free installers out there, but are they worth their zero price tag? Spartan user interfaces force you to learn scripting languages in order to create a basic install. Are several hours of wasted time worth the monetary savings?

The enterprise installation solutions are bloated with features, taking hours of your time to master their complexity. Combine that with hefty price tags, and they become hard to justify.

Smart Install Maker offers you the best of two worlds. It is simple to use, allowing you to create a perfectly usable installation package in just a few minutes, yet all the features are there, making it possible to create complex installation paths with very little effort.

Even if you've never dealt with installation programs before, Smart Install Maker can be used immediately with no learning curve involved. Its intuitive interface will guide you through the entire process. Simply type information such as the product name, the installation path and your company name, and select the files that should be installed. Then, click Build, and Smart Install Maker will do the rest.

Smart Install Maker allows you to create completely customizable installations, giving you full control. Advanced compression algorithms and extremely small overhead make it possible to create compact installations that are easy to download. Full uninstall control is enabled.

Customize every system requirement as desired, from operating system version to end-user privilege level, specify interactive or silent installation, gain access to registry keys and INI files, execute custom commands and pass values via installer variables - all this is not only possible, but elegantly performed with Smart Install Maker!
