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.
