Don't be fooled by products costing twice as much. Setup Factory 7.0 has everything you need to make rock-solid professional software installers that work on every version of Windows from 95 to XP and beyond. The compressed, single-file setup.exe is ideal for distribution on CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, LAN, web download, email or even floppy disk.

An easy-to-use Project Wizard helps you create ready-to-build installation projects in minutes. Simply drag and drop your files, choose a look and feel using the new Visual Themes System and click on the Publish button. It’s that easy to create a rock-solid software installer. But Setup Factory doesn’t stop there. With the addition of a new and powerful scripting engine, Setup Factory 7.0 can handle even the most sophisticated installation tasks.

The new scripting engine features everything from "for, repeat and while" loops, to "if/else" conditions, functions, variables and associative arrays. With a library of over 250 functions and an easy-to-use Action Wizard, advanced installers can be created by anyone. Even beginners can make registry changes, call DLL functions, execute programs, start and stop services, interact with web scripts, enumerate processes, download files and much more.

With the new Screen Manager and Visual Theme System, you can create installers that are as unique as you want them to be. Choose from 20+ screen types and dozens of themes/skins, including HTML formatted text, license agreements, edit fields, check boxes, radio buttons and many more.

Other features include MD5 serial number security, expiration checking, multilingual support, authenticode signing, shortcut icons, registry editing, HTML-based project reports, uninstaller, spell checker, runtime modules, Visual Basic project scanner, silent install mode and support for automated builds. Learning resources include a comprehensive User’s Guide (PDF), Command Reference, Scripting Tutorial and optional video training CD-ROM.
