Stardust Setup Packager 3.0 provides developers with a solution for packaging one or more installation programs into a single self-extracting executable, suitable for Internet distribution.

An easy to use wizard guides you step-by-step through the process of converting your installations into a single self-extracting executable file.

A variety of features are included: digital code signing, password protection, expiration date, welcome prompt, nested packaging, and more.

Features:

· 4Bundle Multiple Installers into a Single EXE
Setup Packager is designed so it can bundle multiple installation programs into a single self-extracting .exe. This can be useful when you are looking for an easy way to bundle a 3rd party installer (e.g. Windows Media Player runtime, Macromedia Flash runtime, etc.) with another existing setup program.

· 4Data Compression Reduces Size and Download Times
Setup Packager applies data compression to your installation files so as to reduce the overall size of your single self-extracting .exe and provide faster download times.

· 4Small Overhead (about 100K or less)
The self-extractor is written in tight C and C++ source code, so it's only about 100K in size. And because it uses data compression, it's possible for it to add zero or less overhead to the overall size of your installation.

· 4Authenticode® Digital Code Signing
An Authenticode signature is like digital shrink-wrap for your software. It lets your customers know that the content of your package file is safe and hasn't been altered or corrupted.

· 4Password Protection
You can optionally password protect your single-exe extractor, so that the user must provide the password to open the file.

· 4Expiration Date
You can specify an expiration date for your package, so that users will not be able to open the file after that date.

· 4Custom Welcome Prompt
You can create a welcome prompt for your package file (e.g. a welcome message with an OK button, a question with Yes and No buttons, etc.). When a user opens your package file, he or she will see this prompt as a dialog box.

· 4Nest Packages
You can create packages inside packages, to any level of depth. Combining with prompts makes it possible to implement advanced logic for conditional component installation.

· 4Easy to Use Authoring Wizard
Creating a single package file is easy with Setup Packager. The application guides you through this simple process.

· 4Unlimited Royalty-Free Distribution
You can distribute an unlimited number of copies of our self-extractor as part of your product installations. We do not charge any royalties or other hidden fees.
