Introduction: Setup Builder runs on Windows 32-bit platforms and is built for creating and maintaining Windows Hosted installation procedures. It is designed for those who wish to provide a professional touch to the installation of their software. Build your installs in minutes instead of hours! Simply click on the files you want, customise the properties, set the screens you want to display and click 'Build' to build your installation procedure. Setup Builder is highly tailorable and doesn't require the user to use C/C++, .DLL's or Visual Basic to create installation procedures. Setup Builder is not restricted to any one development tool so you can use it with any development tool you may choose. Setup Builder installs are based around a powerful interpreted script language which gives you all the flexibility you need.
