It is updated once more. The interface now has a wizard style interface, which is more in line with what users expect,
and it uses a .png for the header bitmap instead of a .jpg.
BTW, the demo app shows Fred hiring his new secretary.
Use the d/l link above.

Updated, handles uninstalls much better. After an uninstall, the user can now handle 'All elements could not be removed'
much better than if using other installers.
I'll put up a better d/l -able demo soon.

Thanks, Inf0Byt3 and dracflamloc
Since it's a bit tricky to test or try out right away I'll
put up a demo install for download soon, and post the source in this thread as I change it.
Please feel free to post any problems you might have with it.

The installer is now rewritten for PB 4.0 Beta 2, and some fixes has been done to it.
The source listing above is updated and you can download a self extracting demo
here.
Just install/uninstall the dummy app to see how the installer works.
The installer demo was created by dropping install.exe, install.png, install.ico and
a licence into the folder of the program that is to be distributed.
After that the the files was packaged into a self extracting exe using the free M$
IEXpress utility.
Since the installer behaves pretty much like any other 'Instant' product (just add
water/an installer), I couldn't resist renaming it to: 'Insta-Installer'

The installer and UI is enhanced, and rewritten for PB4B10. The source is posted above, and a demo
can be downloaded
here.
It's tested on XP, SP2 without any problems, but if you find any, I would appreciate feedback.

For the ones of you that can't compile PB4 files
, or wandered through here on your way from pyxia or
a similar language, you can grab the installer
here.
Just rename 'uninst.exe' to 'install.exe' and include it with your program to check it out.

This tool is just wonderful.
Any way besides "utopiomania", to give credit on the "about" page of programs for which I use this as the installer?
cheers
