Gammadyne Centurion Setup 34.0

Ready to distribute your software masterpiece? Don't wrestle for weeks with a complicated installation builder. Centurion Setup is a complex application which allows users to create setups.

Spend just a few minutes with Centurion Setup, and it will build a professional software installer for Windows in a self-contained, compressed executable. It supports multiple languages, interface customization, DLL installation, patching, password protection, and much more.

Here are some key features of "Centurion Setup":
- A Centurion Setup installer is bullet-proof and extremely reliable. You will never get a complaint from a customer that the installation program has crashed.
- COM files can be installed and registered with the operating system. This includes ActiveX controls and .TLB type libraries.
- To satisfy special needs, a batch of MS-DOS commands can be executed before and after both installation and uninstallation. Another batch can be run after the installer exits, perhaps to launch a custom configuration program.
- A patch installer can be created. Centurion Setup can automatically determine what files have changed and should therefore be included in the patch.
- The installer can add exceptions to the Windows Firewall.
- Centurion Setup's installers can be digitally signed. Uncheck the "Use Checksums" box on the Build branch so that the installer will not report that it has been damaged.
- The installer can install to a default location or ask the end-user where the files should be installed.
- The installer can create Desktop and/or Start Menu shortcuts to any installed file. Desktop shortcuts can optionally be placed in a folder. Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts can optionally be made available to all users or only the user who installed the product.
- Any installed file can be configured to open during bootup.
- The installer can display a bitmap in the background, a solid color, or a transition from one color to another. The background can optionally cover the taskbar, or leave it visible. There can even be no background at all.
- After the installer is built, it can be automatically placed in a .ZIP file.
- The installer can require the end-user to enter a password before installation can begin.
- The installer can be bloated (with random data) to any size to help discourage piracy.
- The installer can refuse to install on certain platforms, such as Windows 95.
- Fonts can be installed and registered with the Operating System so that they are available to all applications. The end-user can be given the option to keep the font during uninstallation.
- The installer can replace locked files during the next reboot.
- Installers can be set to expire after a certain date. After the expiration date, the installer will no longer install.
- 64-bit applications are supported.
- The installer can warn or refuse to install if the user does not have administrator rights.
- The installer can loosen the security settings of the product's directory so that all users will have rights to use it.
- The installer verifies its intergrity to ensure that it has not been damaged, altered, or infected by viruses.
- The installer can delete existing files based on date or size criteria. This can be useful when installing over old versions of your software.
- Installers can be built from the command line (DOS prompt). This allows you to create a desktop shortcut that will build an installer with a click of the mouse.
- Installers can span multiple disks.
- When the user is unable to uninstall because of a locked file or other problem, the uninstall operation can be resumed later.
