TheSaint Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Universal InstallerThis program lets you install contents of a 'Installer Creator' package or other type .zip file. If specified, it can create shortcuts and registry entries.'Installer Creator' packages are zip files containing an instruction file for installing the rest of that zip file content. See my Installer Creator v2.5 program here.This program when installed, also installs the Uninstaller that is used by the zip packages - for when you want to uninstall them.Download from here.ScreenshotsContext Menu Option (right-click a .zip file)Main DialogInstaller DialogCreator DialogsNow while this program works perfectly with the packages created by Installer Creator, it can only deal well with simple zip file structures. In other words, it only looks at files and folders in the root of a zip file. While it can install these and any sub-folder content, it cannot create shortcuts or registry entries for any sub-folder content.Check out the program's info dialog for step by step instructions on preparing a regular zip file for installing.If you look at the top of TheSaint's Toolbox post, you will find that it mentions some of my programs are now available in the much smaller package format.

TheSaint Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Universal Installer updated to v1.1Because my Installer Creator is quite a complex program, I'd overlooked part of the cleanup routine in another section of code. This mean't, that after installing with Universal Installer, the unzipped folder & content remained behind in the user's temp folder. This has now been fixed, plus I've added the ability for the main window to stay open after an install - this is for when you select the zip files or install packages by browsing ... so that you can select another one, without having to restart the program.

TheSaint Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) As per suggestion/request, here is the update & source for v1.2.Universal Installer v1.2.zipAs always, see my Disclaimer here.Hopefully all the dependencies are there, and please take note, that it was devised and built with AutoIt v3.2.4.9, so expect some issues with the latest AutoIt.Anyway, I'm providing it because tes5884 is interested in maybe updating it ... suggest you maybe wait for that.
