This plugin can create small one-file-installation-programs.
It can nearly the same like Paul's installer, but my can do follow:
* Costum Installation (so you can include the exe and the sources (or what you want), and the user must not install all)
* Full changeable text, also a editable welcome and finish-message
* I nice Logo

* A Smart Uninstaller, which only delete the files and directorys, which are created by the installer. Also when the directory is not empty, you the user can choose, if he want to remove the directory. The installer is also part of the windows-software-panel. The uninstaller is optional!
* Also Optional: Links, and this time more than one. Also links on the Desktop are possible.

But it is not so easy to handle...
I don't write a GUI, i only pass a *.install.txt. When you start the installer and no *.install.txt is exist, the installer ask, if he should create a blank one with comments. It should be not sooo difficult to change it to your settings.
When the *.install.txt exist, your install.exe will be created.

Really so unintressting?

btw:

jaPBe zippt is 1643 KB big, jaPBe in Installer (with uninstall & Links) 1735KB. Only 92Kb bigger. And i think, that the gab between both will be smaller, when the project is bigger.

I'd DL it yesterday, at first i couldn't find the install.txt
but when i found in the source dir i felt stupied and went to bed.

but anyway, it seams just perfect for my project now, but first i have to clean my mess of a code up so i can give it a fair try:)

Best regards

The next version, the installer will always start with a File-Select-Requester, so this should be no problem in the future.

btw: Little Trick: When you want to select specific files in a container, make it so:

files = "File1.exe,file2.dat,file3.txt,...."

Only limitation: The size of the line should be under 64 KB
