InstEd description
|
Create installation packages
InstEd provides the fastest, most flexible way to create installers for your applications.
The philosophy behind InstEd is to allow you to achieve complicated tasks as fast as possible, while providing excellent control of all the changes that happen. Here are some key features of "InstEd":
· Full relationship mapping between all rows, including formatted fields referencing components, files, properties, and directories.
· Highlighting of broken relationships, with full explanation.
· Cascaded update when editing a referenced row. e.g. Renaming a directory row will optionally udpate everything that references that row, including formatted fields.
· Cascaded deletion when deleting a parent row. e.g. Deleting a component row optionally deletes everything belonging to the component.
· Smart field editors.
· Auto-completion where suitable.
· Menu based flag field editor.
· Tooltips showing exact meaning of flag fields.
· Guid generator.
· Validation profiles.
· Validate more than one file at a time.
· Validate files using more than one cub at a time.
· Sort, hide, copy the validation results.
· Auto navigates to the relevant field.
· Configurable external tool commands.
· Optionally pass the current file to the external tool on its command line.
· Pass transforms to external tools as msi files, and have InstEd automatically include the changes made by the external tool in the original transform.
· Single command backups of the current file.
· Msi differencing.
· Apply and unapply multiple transforms to see cumulative effects.
· Easily revert single fields, or whole tables, in both transforms and diffed msi files.
· Hide empty tables.
· Back and Forward navigation of table cells using keyboard and/or browsing buttons on mice/keyboard.
· Build and rebuild cabs from the Media table.
· Merge modules into the msi, with automatic fixup of the sequence tables. Extract the cabs and/or files from the merge module when merging.
· Command line validation.
· Specify a name for use in the "Last Saved By" field, e.g. a company name instead of a user name.
· Context sensitive F1 help integrated with the online Windows Installer SDK.
· Directory table shows expanded target folder.
· _Streams table is accessible so that merge module cabs can be accessed.
· Update the File and MsiFileHash details for files located in the source tree.
· Import regedit files (.reg) into components.
· Sets the INSTED_VALIDATING_FILENAME environment variable to the filename of the msi being validated, so that QA cubs can validate the form of the filename.
