Smart Install Maker is a powerful and easy in use tool, creating installation packages with plain user interface. The program can produce professional installers of minimal size and with high degree of file compression.
Preparing an installer is not-so-easy task. Yes, there are simple cases where packing all files with a small "runner" is enough. But even in such case your "simplest possible" installer must perform a bunch of non-trivial tasks, like checking for previously installed versions, updating shortcuts, and so on.
The not so simple (as for capabilities) but still simple (as for usage) setup builder solution is Smart Install Maker. Besides the "standard minimum" - slick modern interface, displaying licenses, creating shortcuts and Start menu groups - installers, created with this software, can do all up-to-date advanced tricks. Checking whether .Net framework is installed, checking its versions, registering ActiveX-es and system libraries, flexible INI and Registry keys from files, and even collecting uninstall feedbacks on the vendor's Web site.
Coupled with good compression algorithms and small size of the installer, this program's runtime capabilities result is in the best-for-everyone installers; and well thought-out highly usable interface of Smart Install Maker does its better to the installer creation speed and pleasure.
