Well, at least there are crappy layer ads from binlayer.com and maybe something else as well...one of the worst things someone could do to his own homepage, I guess this is my testimonial.

I have to agree with c4s Soner although I think it was said a little harshly, popups are never a good idea especially on your product homepage (i.e. it doesn't instill a lot of convidence for your potential user). Maybe have discreet google ads or un-obtrusive banner ads rather than the awful pop-ups! Very attractive site though! so don't let that get you down, just get rid of the popups and it will be a sweet site

Sure, his homepage looks nice.
I said it a little harsh because I absolutely hate these popups. When I see one of those I close the site immediately and will probably never come to it again! So Soner it was meant as a tip.

Yes me too! I absolutely hate/loath pop-ups!

I never had any problems with these popups. However I removed the binlayer adv.
Thanks for the testimonial c4s, I will publish it immediately.

Unfortunately I could not hang around long enough to check out the site as I am on a tight budget and have to use my prepaid mobile phone for internet access so I can only afford 150mb per month and these popups really chew up the mb's. I am pretty sure I am not the only one in this situation.
A well streamlined web site is a browsers best friend my friend.

Will this allow you to put a program into the startup so it starts with windows ?

XP:

c:\windows\start menu\programs\startup

Win7:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Hello and congratulations for this app.
I just installed the 1.2.6.2 version in a machine which runs Win7 Ultimate on 32 bits.
When I tried to run the program I took the "Could not the cab10.dll" error message.
Regards.

You mean:

---------------------------
InstallForge
---------------------------
Could not load cab10.dll!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Then just check for the cab10.dll in the InstallForge directory.

It is existed in the InstallForge's directory, but it is still not working.

Hey guys,
just wanted to announce that there is an online manual available for InstallForge: http://installforge.net/manuals/ifhowto/

Enjoy!

Hey guys,
I have just updated the first post of this thread (description text and URLs). Hope you like InstallForge!

I have a similiar issue, though the file size doesn't increase by that much. When I open my project file, InstallForge just freezes and I have to end the task.

EDIT:

I did notice that the proj_licence.rtf file that it creates in the InstallForge directory does exponentially increase in size for some reason, i let it sit for about 30 minutes with the program in 'Not Responding' before ending the task and that file size got up to 246MB in size. Don't know what happened as it was all working fine and just stopped working for some reason, but my project file is still only 4kb in size and all files for the program are only 4.19MB in size, total of 32 files and 3 folders.

I am going to take a look at this issue. Thanks for the report!
