Поместить файлы в архив можно при помощи простого перетаскивания их из проводника или можно задать папку, из которой нужные файлы и подпапки будут включены. Если какой-то из файлов занят другим приложением, то программа добавит его в архив при следующей загрузке системы.

Key Features:

  • Self-Contained Executable : Centurion Setup creates executable installation programs that are self-contained in a single file. A single file is easily downloaded, requires no software such as WinZip to decompress, and ensures that all installation files are present. The installer's overhead is only 440 KB and the compression engine achieves a very high compression ratio. You will be amazed at how small Centurion Setup can make the installer.
  • Uninstall Support : Centurion Setup can optionally provide support for uninstalling the product. The user will be able to uninstall the product by one of the following methods:
  • The "Add/Remove Programs" option in Control Panel.
  • A Start Menu shortcut (optional).
  • A Desktop shortcut (optional).
  • Multilingualism and Interface Customization : The installer is capable of presenting the user interface in English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, and Afrikaans. All strings that are displayed in the user interface can be edited. Entire languages can be added.
  • Shared File Support : The installer can install operating system DLL's (such as those required by Visual Basic). If a DLL is currently in use, the user will be instructed to reboot the computer to complete the installation. Version and date checking is performed on DLL's according to Microsoft guidelines. The installer can install reference counted shared files in a company directory. Shared files can be used by multiple applications, and are only replaced by more recently dated files. Only when uninstalling the last program using a shared file will the file be uninstalled.
  • DOS Batch Support : To satisfy special needs, a batch of MS-DOS commands can be executed before and after both installation and uninstallation. Another batch can be run after the installer exits, perhaps to launch a custom configuration program. Batches of DOS commands can be used to execute, copy, move, rename, and delete files. A full set of environment variables are automatically assigned to assist you. These variables contain the location of the installer/uninstaller, the installation directory, and the location of certain Operating System directories.
  • Multiple Disk Support : Centurion Setup can create installers that span multiple disks. You can choose from several standard media sizes, or specify any arbitrary capacity. Centurion Setup uses compression and every last byte of the media to ensure that the minimum number of disks are required. Once the installer is built, Centurion Setup can copy it to the media, verifying that all files were copied perfectly. During installation, if each file in the spanned installer is present in the same directory, the user will not be unnecessarily prompted to insert disks.
  • File Associations : The installer can install an association between a file type and one of your programs, like the way .TXT files are associated with Notepad. Once the file type is associated, the user can double click on any file of that type to launch your program. Or, the user can right click on the associated file for a menu of options. If there happens to be an existing association for the file type, the installer will create a backup that is restored by the uninstaller. Also, you are permitted to install context options for a common file type, such as .TXT files.

Additional Features:

  • Centurion Setup and the installers that it creates run on all versions of Windows 95, 98, NT4, 2000, ME, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7, 8, and 2012, including 64-bit versions.
  • Installers created by Centurion Setup may be distributed completely royalty-free.
  • A Centurion Setup installer is bullet-proof and extremely reliable. You will never get a complaint from a customer that the installation program has crashed.
  • Learning how to use Centurion Setup is a snap. A complete help file is provided, and every control is linked directly to the appropriate spot within the help file. Each control also has balloon help and a context menu.
  • Files can be added to the installer by dragging and dropping from Windows Explorer. Or simply specify a directory that contains an image of the installation. Or, enter a list of files (wildcards permitted).
  • If any file cannot be replaced (usually because it is in use), the installer can direct the system to replace the file during the next reboot. The end-user will be informed that they need to reboot to complete the installation.
  • COM files can be installed and registered with the operating system. This includes ActiveX controls and .TLB type libraries.
  • Centurion Setup's installers can be digitally signed. Uncheck the "Use Checksums" box on the Build branch so that the installer will not report that it has been damaged.
  • The end-user can be forced to agree to an End-User License Agreement (EULA) before installing.
  • The end-user can be shown a "readme" file before installing.
  • The end-user is informed when the product is already installed, and if the pre-existing installation is newer, older, or the same version. The end-user can be forced to uninstall a previous installation first. It can also be made mandatory that another product be installed first.
  • The installer can install to a default location or ask the end-user where the files should be installed.
  • The installer can create Desktop and/or Start Menu shortcuts to any installed file. Desktop shortcuts can optionally be placed in a folder. Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts can optionally be made available to all users or only the user who installed the product.
  • The installer can set up a file to be opened (or a program to be executed) every time the machine boots up.
  • The installer can create a registry key for the application under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
  • Registry keys are deleted during uninstallation.
  • The installer can display a bitmap in the background, a transition from one color to another, or use the default window colors of the end-user. The background can optionally cover the taskbar, or leave it visible. There can even be no background at all.
  • After the installer is built, it can be automatically placed in a .ZIP file.
  • The installer can require the end-user to enter a password before installation can begin.
  • The installer can be bloated (with random data) to any size to help discourage piracy.
  • The installer can refuse to install on certain platforms, such as Windows 95.
  • Fonts can be installed and registered with the Operating System so that they are available to all applications. The end-user can be given the option to keep the font during uninstallation.
  • The date and time of installed files are preserved. File attributes (read-only, hidden, etc.) can optionally be preserved.
  • Installers can be set to expire after a certain date. After the expiration date, the installer will no longer install.
  • 64-bit applications are supported.
  • The installer can warn or refuse to install if the user does not have administrator rights.
  • The installer can loosen the security settings of the product's directory so that all users will have rights to use it.
  • The installer verifies its intergrity to ensure that it has not been damaged, altered, or infected by viruses.
  • The installer can delete existing files based on date or size criteria. This can be useful when installing over old versions of your software.
  • Installers can be built from the command line (DOS prompt). This allows you to create a desktop shortcut that will build an installer with a click of the mouse.
  • When the user is unable to uninstall because of a locked file or other problem, the uninstall operation can be resumed later.
Centurion Setup 24.0

Изменения в версии 24.0:

  • Added the ability to install device drivers. List the .INF file in the File Specification Table, and set the File Type column to "INF".
  • Added the "Create Restore Point" option to the Install branch.
  • The installer's "Choose Installation Folder" window now reports the amount of hard drive space available and required.
  • Added the "Top Banner Text" field to the Display branch. This allows you to customize the text that appears in the banner for installation windows that use the "Top Banner" window style. Previously this was always the Product Description.
  • Added the ability to change the top banner graphic.
  • Major interface improvements. Improved all skins.
  • Added the "Method" column to the Auto-Close table. An application can now be closed by sending a WM_QUIT message, or by prompting the end-user to manually close it.
  • The EULA and README are now always black on white. This improves readability and appearance.
  • The EULA and README now support UTF-8 files.
  • Added the "Shared Files Location" setting to the Locations branch. This allows you to keep shared files in the "C:\ProgramData" folder instead of "c:\Program Files\Common Files".
  • The "Target" column of the Shortcuts table can now be relative to the installation directory.
  • Added the "Run Only When Same Version" option for the Reinstall Batch.
  • In the unlikely event that the installer crashes, a crash dump window will now appear, and the user will be able to send this diagnostic information to Gammadyne. We are not aware of any bugs that might cause a crash; this is merely a precaution that helps ensure that Centurion Setup's installers are the most reliable in the industry.
  • Numerous minor improvements to the Copy Source Files tool.
  • Added the "Plain" mode for the Greeting Window Style.
  • Added the %Bits% environment variable, which a batch can use to determine if the operating system is 32 or 64 bits.
  • Added various buttons to the bottom of the Additional Files field on the Zip branch.
  • The title of the "Choose Language" window is now translated.
  • If there is any problem with launching a batch during installation, an error is now reported in a popup window. This is exceedingly rare, but the system could have a corrupted cmd.exe, and it is good to receive some diagnostic information.
  • The button on the Installation Summary window is now labeled "Finish" instead of "OK".
  • The installer now reports an immediate error if the end-user specifies a read-only drive for the main installation folder.
  • After aborting the installation, a "The installation was canceled" popup window will appear. Previously, the installer would terminate silently.
  • Changed the text of the "Disallow removable media" error message from "Drive X: is not available." to "Installation to drive X: is not permitted."
  • Added the ability to make the "View installation notes" box unchecked by default.
  • Added the "Set to background average" tool to the context menu for the Title Color and Copyright Color fields.
  • An error is now reported if the Destination column of the File Specification Table contains any quote marks.
  • An error is now reported if the Target column of the Shortcuts table contains any quote marks.
  • The installer will now execute the Auto-Close feature after the README has been displayed, instead of before the Choose Language window.
  • Improved the translations for the "Choose Start Menu Location" title.
  • The uninstaller can now gracefully handle a crash when unregistering a COM file or type library.
  • The installer title and copyright now have more margin.
  • The text on the "Choose Installation Directory" window is now centered.
  • Added a graphical banner to the Build Summary window.
  • The installer's progress window is now created before running batches and loosening the installation folder's security rights. This eliminates a potential "nothing on the screen, nothing happening" moment.
  • After clicking a checkbox, input focus is now given to the next editbox, if appropriate.
  • Removed the "Import old SEAU data" tool, which was only needed when upgrading from version 6.2 or earlier.
  • Fixed: after using the "Duplicate Row" tool on the File Specification Table, certain cells could be enabled when they should not be.
  • Fixed: the Shortcuts table was not being tested for errors before a build.
  • Fixed: the Browse tool for the Installer Output File was reporting an error if the chosen file does not already exist.
  • Fixed: after installing a new version that no longer uses a shared file, that shared file would never be uninstalled.
  • Fixed: rarely the uninstaller's executable, and/or the empty installation folder, could fail to be deleted by the uninstaller.
  • Fixed: possible corruption of the uninstaller's "No" button. This would happen if there are firewall exceptions, but no auto-closes and no associations to uninstall.

ОС: Windows 95, 98, NT4, 2000, ME, XP, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
