Im looking to see what your best suggestions are for what install creator(s) that you've used personally. Ubots built inInnoext..

entroqy 5 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Used to use DeployMaster ($$) but somewhere along the way what used to be excellent support just disappeared. Switched to Inno and v happy. Not using it for ubot yet?, so while I'm sure it can do the job as it does everything you would possible want to do including phone home and the laundry, don't have settings to recommend. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 very nice thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal 164 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I use the paid version of actual installer as well, but will move back to inno as soon as time permits. the reason for moving... inno can do it all... you just have to dig around for examples, but once you have it you can create yourself a template to use on demand. actual installer has a nag screen to upgrade that gets on my nerves (can probably be turned off, I just haven't done any digging on it) for me, inno, having been around for so long, and having such a massive user base, just makes more sense to me now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brutal 164 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Not at the moment - To get started with just a base template, you only need to use the wizard. That will get your core stuff done so that you have a working installer/uninstaller. Then, you just dig around and you'll find all of the cool stuff like requiring a certain version of .net, requiring run as admin, adding in additional files and folders (to include ubot files if you want). There is likely even a way to push an update without the need to reinstall entire programs and so on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
