Short: Automatic Scriptgener. for C= Installer Author: Andreas.Falkenhahn@gmx.de (Andreas Falkenhahn) Uploader: Andreas.Falkenhahn@gmx.de (Andreas Falkenhahn) Type: util/wb There are many Software Packages on Aminet without any Installer although Commodore developed the Installer tool which provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface with powerful functions. But many people complained that they were too lazy or it would be too hard to create a script for the Commodore Installer. This time is over now. NewInstaller allows everyone to include a script in his Software Package for the famous Commodore Installer. But no - you need not to edit it - NewInstaller does all automatically. The only thing you need to do is including an install icon in your Software Package with default tool NewInstaller. Additionally you can change many things in the Tooltypes to let the script created like you want it! NewInstaller is an intelligent program with powerful features. Here are some: * Multi language: Your Installer appears in the user`s mother tongue because of the locale.library support and the more than 10 supplied catalogs * Update function: NewInstaller keeps every Software installed with full path and version in mind * Intelligent handling: If no name, author and version specified in the Tooltypes NewInstaller tries to figure them out * Recognizing of many types: NewInstaller recognizes many filetypes. For example: Executables, docs, libs, fonts, ARexx scripts, MUI files, Prefs.... So if there is a Fonts drawer for example NewInstaller will tell the user that the program needs XXX.font in FONTS: and so on... * Assign support: You can specify assigns in the Tooltypes which shall be added in S:User-Startup * Unarchive support: LHA and LZX archives will be unarchived and the user can select the files from the archive he wants. This option can be turned off in the Tooltypes. Then the archives will only be copied * Confirm all operations: NewInstaller tells the user every operation before he does it so the user has to confirm the operation or skip it etc. This can be turned off in the Tooltypes * Execute support: NewInstaller can launch executables/batch files at any position in the installation procedure That were only some of NewInstaller`s powerful features. Many things can be changed in the Tooltypes. Some demos that show some features of NewInstaller are included of course. But you need to install NewInstaller first, before you can watch them! There`s more to come! In one of the next versions the "NewInstaller Engine" support will be added...Then there`ll be several install engines available like a MUI install engine or a GFX install engine (an engine that lets the installation look like the cool PC/MAC installations). Of course you can develop your own engines then too. I`m looking for graphicians and musicians for the upcoming GFX install engine. A bright future is coming. Okay, but now enjoy this version and tell me what you think about it... Andreas BTW: I decided to release NewInstaller as Shareware. The registration fee is 20 DM or $15US-Dollars. Developers who use NewInstaller in their Software Package can gain a free keyfile. BTW2: My email address changed: Andreas.Falkenhahn@gmx.de. The old one is no longer valid. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 67 67 0.0% 04-Aug-98 20:59:32 +testdummy.library 933 531 43.0% 04-Aug-98 20:36:24 +MediumInstall.dat 4780 1149 75.9% 04-Aug-98 21:09:42 +SimpleInstall.info 4556 2443 46.3% 04-Aug-98 13:18:28 +TestDummy 1660 851 48.7% 04-Aug-98 20:57:00 +ToughInstall.dat 4887 1234 74.7% 04-Aug-98 20:48:48 +HardInstall.info 4838 1201 75.1% 04-Aug-98 20:42:00 +MediumInstall.info 734 387 47.2% 04-Aug-98 13:37:22 +TestDummy.doc 2384 1351 43.3% 04-Aug-98 20:42:00 +TestDummy.info 4965 1289 74.0% 04-Aug-98 20:48:40 +ToughInstall.info 132 95 28.0% 04-Aug-98 20:40:50 +File_ID.diz 264 35 86.7% 23-Mar-98 14:38:42 +microknight.font 2584 1372 46.9% 23-Mar-98 14:38:34 +8 768 456 40.6% 04-Aug-98 20:21:04 +SimpleInstall.dat 1451 558 61.5% 04-Aug-98 20:41:58 +TestDummy.doc.info 2273 562 75.2% 06-Aug-98 16:03:26 +Demos.info 13020 2894 77.7% 04-Jan-80 05:30:28 +Homepage.iff 119 109 8.4% 04-Aug-98 20:52:06 +endmsg 1215 663 45.4% 04-Aug-98 20:46:32 +HardInstall.dat 78 77 1.2% 04-Aug-98 20:50:52 +startmsg 2273 561 75.3% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +Docs.info 9152 2642 71.1% 18-Aug-98 16:39:48 +Install.script 1969 1147 41.7% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Deutsch.info 1969 1177 40.2% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +English.info 1970 1155 41.3% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Français.info 4689 1233 73.7% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Magyar.info 4690 1215 74.0% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Russian.info 515 262 49.1% 07-May-98 19:17:02 +Translate_This 1970 1164 40.9% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Italiano.info 1972 1148 41.7% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Nederlands.info 1967 1153 41.3% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Norsk.info 1971 1162 41.0% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Português.info 1967 1148 41.6% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Suomi.info 4725 1081 77.1% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Türkçe.info 2273 559 75.4% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Install.info 1968 1148 41.6% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Polski.info 1969 1162 40.9% 18-Aug-98 16:15:34 +Æeàtina.info 46148 30624 33.6% 04-Aug-97 06:58:16 +reqtools.library 2000 1401 29.9% 06-Aug-98 16:03:26 +NewInstaller.info 5160 1636 68.2% 06-Aug-98 16:03:26 +NewInstaller.readme.info 5040 2097 58.3% 06-Aug-98 14:54:54 +NewInstaller.catalog 4954 2092 57.7% 06-Aug-98 14:55:38 +NewInstaller.catalog 4392 2094 52.3% 06-Aug-98 14:56:50 +NewInstaller.catalog 4000 1967 50.8% 06-Aug-98 14:58:56 +NewInstaller.catalog 4550 1954 57.0% 06-Aug-98 14:56:26 +NewInstaller.catalog 5032 1756 65.1% 06-Aug-98 14:53:16 +NewInstaller.cd 4693 1737 62.9% 06-Aug-98 14:52:56 +NewInstaller.ct 4306 1931 55.1% 19-Aug-98 21:05:46 +NewInstaller.catalog 4592 1994 56.5% 06-Aug-98 14:57:20 +NewInstaller.catalog 4322 1856 57.0% 06-Aug-98 14:57:56 +newinstaller.catalog 4388 1943 55.7% 06-Aug-98 14:58:18 +NewInstaller.catalog 4068 1897 53.3% 06-Aug-98 15:00:16 +NewInstaller.catalog 4762 2032 57.3% 19-Aug-98 21:05:22 +NewInstaller.catalog 3704 1790 51.6% 06-Aug-98 14:59:44 +NewInstaller.catalog 1186 691 41.7% 18-Aug-98 16:33:40 +ATO.readme_deutsch 1123 657 41.4% 18-Aug-98 16:34:12 +ATO.readme_english 27071 10243 62.1% 05-Aug-98 19:44:50 +NInstaller_français.guide 27446 10384 62.1% 05-Aug-98 19:45:36 +NInstaller_magyar.guide 4591 1126 75.4% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +NInstaller_magyar.guide.info 4591 1110 75.8% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +NInstaller_russian.guide.info 30980 10899 64.8% 06-Aug-98 16:01:34 +NInstaller_deutsch.guide 1871 1143 38.9% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +NInstaller_english.guide.info 1871 1100 41.2% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +NInstaller_français.guide.info 24851 10165 59.0% 05-Aug-98 19:46:04 +NInstaller_russian.guide 1871 1088 41.8% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +NInstaller_deutsch.guide.info 26544 9187 65.3% 06-Aug-98 15:55:18 +NInstaller_english.guide 28977 10144 64.9% 05-Aug-98 19:45:14 +NInstaller_italiano.guide 1871 1107 40.8% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +NInstaller_italiano.guide.info 1451 556 61.6% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +ATO.readme_deutsch.info 1451 560 61.4% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +ATO.readme_english.info 1366 691 49.4% 06-Aug-98 16:33:28 +Translator.readme_english 1451 561 61.3% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +Translator.readme_english.info 31335 10799 65.5% 18-Aug-98 16:20:36 +NInstalle_português.guide 1871 1100 41.2% 18-Aug-98 16:32:18 +NInstalle_português.guide.info 97 79 18.5% 06-Aug-98 15:48:54 +Engines.readme 5160 1638 68.2% 06-Aug-98 16:04:42 +Engines.readme.info 63604 63604 0.0% 19-Aug-98 20:54:54 +NewInstaller 2273 556 75.5% 06-Aug-98 16:03:26 NewInstaller.info 2273 557 75.4% 06-Aug-98 16:04:42 +Engines.info 3791 1589 58.0% 06-Aug-98 15:49:18 +NewInstaller.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 516795 248576 51.9% 20-Aug-98 02:30:02 80 files
