Short: THE Ultimate Addon Tool for C= Installer Author: Andreas.Falkenhahn@gmx.de (Andreas Falkenhahn) Uploader: Andreas.Falkenhahn@gmx.de (Andreas Falkenhahn) Type: util/wb NewInstaller v1.5 - Minor Update -------------------------------- Here`s what has changed since the last release: ˇ Updated English and German AmigaGuideŽ documents ˇ Updated Russian catalog ˇ Updated German catalog ˇ Updated catalog translation and description ˇ Added DELAY tooltype which delays the installation a bit ˇ Localized some internal requesters (requested by Herve Dupont) ˇ Fixed some problems that occured with the SCRIPT tooltype ˇ Directory size is now calculated correctly ˇ Commodore Installer displays now the correct path in the end message (reported by Michael Luense) ˇ Fixed a bug that caused the update function to do not work (reported by Michael Luense) If you still don`t know, what NewInstaller is, here`s the description: There are many Software Packages on Aminet without any Installer although Commodore developed the Installer tool which provides a 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 some things in the Tooltypes. NewInstaller is fully integrated into Internet. You only need to add a tooltype and the user can online register your program if he wants. Or add an other tooltype and the user can visit your homepage immediately. But there`s more: NewInstaller can make the installation of your program to a great Multimedia event. It can display different pictures, play samples and modules. It even doesn`t matter if the installation is running on AGA/ECS/OCS/Gfx boards...It will always look as good as possible. Pictures are remapped and resized to the current screen definitions! NewInstaller is an intelligent program with powerful features. Here are some: * fully integrated into Internet (Online Registration, WWW visits....) * Graphics can be used (with remapping to WB colors and resizing to WB resolution). Compatible with ECS/OCS/AGA and Gfx boards! * Sounds can be used * Multi language: Your Installer appears in the user`s mother tongue because of the locale.library support and the more than 15 supplied catalogs * Update function: NewInstaller keeps every Software installed with full path and version in mind * UnInstall function: Just add one tooltype and the user will be asked if an UnInstall script shall be created * 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 !. This can be turned off in the Tooltypes That were only some of NewInstaller`s powerful features. Many things can be changed in the Tooltypes. I decided to release NewInstaller as Shareware. The registration fee is 10 DM ($7 US-Dollar) via email or 15 DM ($12 US-Dollar) via post.
