Download EasySetup

You should add support for english in the first installation. I think this scares some users away that only german is supported

Also you switch too much from different banners. First you got one in the left side, then one at top and back at the left side!


Okay to the setup maker; you should let people minimize it.

And if my exe doesnt have an icon, i cant close the "Icons" window that pop up when i click the "Icon" button in "Files and directory" part!

Also, perhaps you should remove the "Easy setup - Copyright blablabla" in the top of the installers..! (And write something like "Product title v. x" where the x is the version number!)


For the uninstaller; you should remove the ", too" part in the check box. And it didnt remove my directory!

Other than that, it looks pretty good!

There was a bug in the language selection window. Normaly the user language is automaticly selected, if exists.

Done!

Use [X] button to close.


A friend corrected the errors in the english translation.
The directory is a windows problem. It allows not to delete the directory, that include the uninstaller executable.

Don't ask me how; i managed to open it one an exe without an icon. And it would not close on the x! tried today, and it works fine. Don't know what went wrong!



Nope, you can easily delete it
just requires a little programming. Search this forum, and see its possible

edit: did the search:
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=4836

A way to do it:

Simply let your uninstaller write the this file: delitself.bat



launch it hidden and END your program afterwards.
this batch file will loop till uninstall.exe is removed, and when it is it will remove itself and exit.

(remember, the batchfiles name shall be delitself.bat unless you change the del delitself.bat of course. Try it )

Good idea! I needed a long time until it works correct.
The problems were:
- Batch file must placed in directorys in accordance with DOS rules
- RunProgram() works not correct with parameters => ShellExecute_()
- Directory must changed before deleting program directory ("cd \")

> - - Batch file must placed in directorys in accordance with DOS rules

not tested

New Version 0.1.6:
- Installer: Bug in language selection requester removed
- Uninstaller: Empty program directory will now be deleted
- EasySetup: Empty subdirectories in programm directory will be managed correct now
- EasySetup: Automatic saving of changes if projectname exists

It's not very elegant with so many different font sizes and the buttons looks very small. And when I click to the left of the back button, C:\Programfiler\Opera 7 opens in an explorer window.

And I can click "finish" before the installation has started (on the screen with click install to start installation).

Edit: It doesn't delete the start menu entries and the desktop shortcut.

What do you meen? EasySetup, Installer or Uninstaller
I'm working on a better desing of EasySetup (Panels).


There should be the homepage, if it exists. I will correct it.


Translation error. I will change it to "Exit"


I can't reproduce it. Can you send me your "uninstall.dat"

In the installer, on the white pages the font is larger. On the upper panel on the grey page the font seems to be smaller. The "install" button has bold text. The checkbox for deletion of user files on uninstall has red text. The text in the dialog isn't the default font.

But shouldn't there be text to click or something?
