Good compression, a lot of functions, possible to build multi-languages installations... and it is OpenSources.
I know to build installations you must write scripts, but there are programes which can do that for you and you add what you want after.

I use NSIS, and I purchased Venis IX (for commercial use) .. freakin nice..

for nsis:

http://hmne.sourceforge.net/

its free for both noncommercial & commercial use.. and it HAS an
install maker wizard too! its very nice.. i dunno if venis might be better but i have used this with success too and its 100% free.

if interested on the page too: an util to convert innosetup to nsis scripts

but neither way both is recently updated and is probaly also going to be updated in the future..

Why not write a nice installer in purebasic

? i know some has been done
but a real proffessional one for purebasic itself would be cool

next big forum project? an installer has lots of small parts to be written.. uninstaller, the gui designing, procedures for unpacking etc well it could be an multi user project. i dont know.. what do you think?

They're all good. But it's usually the user/developer who forgets to
change the name of the uninstaller.. and lets say they make 4 libraries
for pb.. and place the uninstall.exe in the pb directory.. it screws up the
previous uninstaller.

I custom name mine. Try it if you haven't, www.liquidbuzz.com
download the ProcessIt Library.. install it, and check out the purebasic
root directory.

Code: Select all

SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\"
	CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\ProcessIt for PureBasic\Uninstall ProcessIt.lnk" "$INSTDIR\ProcessIt Uninstaller.exe"

The update pack 1 is available on smartupdate (and in update/ dir), it fixes the bugs reported since the release.

Can I download the update pack without SmartUpdate? I have no internet at home and here on university I have no PureBasic to start the SmartUpdate...

The files can be downloaded from http://www.purebasic.com/update/ too.

Company I work for had me busy since my last post (wherever that was) and now has me here in Bangkok to train the staff at our new office. Haven't even had time to download and play with this new release. Still I want to thank Fred and all his contributers for all their efforts. Thanks Fred!!!

Thanks contributors!

I have a bug with a missing "LIB" with this new version, posted in the bug forum.
