Installer Maker

Are you a programmer, business(wo)man, teacher, artist, secretary, musician, or anyone who needs to distribute files? Installer Maker is a tool, which wraps your files in one single installer for easy distribution. Creating an installer is just a matter of minutes. There are also special options available, which allow you to include a Read Me file, to start your programme automatically after installation and more.



The current version works fine on Mac OS X and Windows and is being tested on Linux. We expect to release a new version with Linux compatibility in 2011.

If you have any questions about Installer Maker, please send an e-mail.

With this product, you will streamline that last part of your production flow: preparing for distribution. Now, you can do it all with one and the same tool: your LiveCode IDE.

A license costs 39 euro (approximately 50 dollar). There won't be a trial version, but we will provide ample instructions, pictures and videos. A video tutorial is available here. You are always welcome to send e-mails with questions about Installer Maker.

A license entitles you to one support incident. A license is valid for multiple computers, but for only one user (please refer to the license conditions provided with the software).

Even though you can now use the Installer Maker to create your own installers for your standalone programmes, we understand that creating a complete set-up can still be quite complicated. You don't need to worry, because we continue to offer our installer building service. You can read more about our installer building service here.

Upgrade!

Is your license more than 3 months old? This means that your license key won't work with the current version of the Installer Maker. Fortunately, you can upgrade to the latest version at a very modest price. An upgrade costs just EUR 16.95. The upgrade lets you use the current version, but it also lets you benefit from three months of free updates!

Just enter your serialkey in the box above and press the button to see your upgrade option.
