Installers

Hi gang,

I know this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find it.
What kinds of installers do people use to install Dolphin
executables on clients' machines? Suggestions? Any good
shareware solutions out there?

Thanks.

Re: Installers

Jan,

I list a couple of options on

http://needle.anest.ufl.edu/anest4/bills/tools.htm

Personally, I'm still using Wise 5.0. D5's ToGo deployment will make things
even easier, so the ClickTeam installer might be more than enough if you are
looking around now.

Have a good one,

Bill

InnoSetup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php (script based setup program)
with IStool http://www.bhenden.org/istool/ (script editor) get my vote.
Both are freeware, and InnoSetup is open source, they are also outstanding
programs. I find InnoSetup to be fairly comprehensive, however if you need
more advanced features there are extensions to InnoSetup that add Pascal
scripting (ISX). I have used it to do some Dolphin application deployments
and it works well. InnoSetup has a nice newsgroup, and an active user
community that supports it.

Hi gang,

we make use of ghost installer. If you can figuraout with XML it will be
the one.

In our instalation we do create even ODBC conections with this, making
use of the registry.

Seb
