NextInstaller simplifies Windows Installer authoring with its easy-to-use interface and variety of practical features. Its power and simplicity make it an excellent choice for software developers creating Windows applications.
One feature that impressed me was the fact that the installation disks produced did not generate uninstallation information. This meant that I could easily apply it to make a software upgrade package, database installation disks, and other special installation disks with ease. Registry setting features could also be set up in the installation process for the operation of the registry. This included features such as setting the registry information, reading out the registry information, deleting it, covering it, and even conditionally implementing the registry object which further extended the software's capabilities.
Additionally, it was easy to create an application program and file type association using the features provided in the software. I was also pleased to note that generating the uninstall shortcut keys was a walk in the park. With a powerful variable table, it was much easier for me to engage in variable management which further streamlined my user experience.
The applied detection function was yet another feature that stood out to me. It has the ability to prompt and force the running program and service to suspend in the installation process which ensures a very smooth installation process. I also realized that I could easily define my own type of installation using this software – a powerful feature for users who may have specific installation requirements.
To top it all off, the included image replacement function was extremely convenient. It allowed me to easily design a custom installation image without a fuss. Overall, my experience with this software was nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs an efficient and powerful installation control script.
