I have a large project for work that I have been developing for over three years now. A while back I needed a way to quickly and easily install the application on a user’s PC’s from a remote location. I have users in six states, and while I wouldn’t mind visiting Hawaii, the company doesn’t think I need to do so to get my app installed. The Install Creator program from Clickteam offers a free alternative. Unfortunately for me, this means I won’t be going to Hawaii anytime soon, at least not on the company’s dime. Clickteam’s light-weight but fully featured solution does a great job. Everything is modifiable, including the image placement, icon settings, and even the installer’s text prompts. This installer is much easier to use than Nullsoft’s Installer, which requires a bit of scripting knowledge. The only catch is that the free version displays a text ad promoting the installer maker on the install creator at the end of each install, so your unsuspecting users know how you did it. A small price to pay for being able to save the company some money. Too bad my boss already bought a ticket to Hawaii and didn’t tell me…yeah right.
