Previous Top Next


Using Thinstall's installer is optional. Many developers choose to continue using their original Installer until they reach a point where it is convient to switch.
Thinstall works fully with InstallShield, Wise, and all other commercial installers. Click here for more details on using a 3rd party install with Thinstall.

By enabling Thinstall's Installer option, you can link an installer directly into your EXE file.

· Allow the User to chose the Installation Directory
· Add Startmenu Shortcuts to launch or Uninstall your program or link to websites
· Add a Desktop Shortcut to your program
· Add a Control Panel Uninstall option in Add/Remove Programs
· Display a custom BMP file in the Installation Dialog
· Warn users when they try to run a different version from the one installed.
· Display a License Agreement Window before running the application
Install Options can be made automatic so no user interaction is required to install.

A typical installation dialog looks like this:
