Easy Setup, Seamless Delivery

Developer Edition is a best-of-breed product for setup developers who want complete control over their software installations. In addition to all functions found in SetupBuilder Professional, the Developer Edition flagship provides advanced features such as Web Installation and Web Update (live update) for creating dynamic Internet-based installations, a Visual Dialog Editor for quickly customizing the user interface, setupPROTECT to maximize your profit potential, reduce costs and increase your software security, a Visual Debugger to troubleshoot your installations by monitoring it as it runs, multi-language support, and much more.

As rapid application development (RAD) tools have become commonplace, simplifying the development process and reducing project life cycles, the ability to create smooth, efficient applications in less time often means needing to deploy them just as quickly.

Key Benefits

If you demand the maximum flexibility to create professional, customized Windows installations, SetupBuilder has it all.

* Ready for Windows 8 - SetupBuilder Developer Edition gets you ready for Windows 8. Compiled applications are Windows 8 "Developer Preview" aware to ensure that software gets installed properly. If an install/uninstall application is not Windows 8 aware, "Program Assistant Compatibility" mitigation may kick in.
* Ready for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Vista - SetupBuilder gets you ready for the latest Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Vista operating systems. It provides support for important new Windows UAC security functionality and ensures that users are asked to authenticate themselves only once
* Support for 64-bit Windows - Build installations for both pure 64-bit applications and hybrid applications that mix 32-bit and 64-bit code
* Powerful Scripting Facility - With over 500 predefined setup-related functions in Developer Edition, the point-and-click SetupScript language gives you flexibility in any part of the installation, including user dialog sequence, file transfer, error handling, reboot, and even uninstallation
* Visual Dialog Editor - Support for quickly customizing the user interface. You can use the Dialog Editor to create new dialogs from scratch for your SetupBuilder application. You can visually design dialogs and add items such as static text, text edit fields, graphics, checkboxes, radio buttons, push buttons, combo boxes, list boxes, and more!
* Extremely Easy to Use - Create complete installations in just minutes using SetupBuilder. Simply point and click your way to a professional installation using SetupBuilder's intuitive graphical interface. Build sophisticated and flexible installations quickly and easily. SetupBuilder is the fastest installation development tool available. With SetupBuilder, you can create a professional installation in less than 30 minutes.
* API Calling - API Calling gives you the ability to call Windows API or custom DLLs from your installation script without writing C code
* Microsoft .NET Support - Register .NET Assembly in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), COM Interop Registration .NET Assemblies, and Create Native Image for .NET Assemblies
* Authenticode Technology Support - Automatically sign application files, installation packages and the uninstall application with Microsoft Authenticode Digital IDs. Recent operating system updates to Windows XP (Service Pack 2 and 3) and the new Windows 7, Server 2008 and Vista make it vital to use digital signatures in your application files and installation packages. This does not only complying with the latest security requirements, but also giving your users confidence in your product
* Internet-based Installations - Create Web Installations to minimize bandwidth requirements by downloading only the files needed for the installation, reducing bandwidth requirements and saving time for the end user
* Automated Web Updates - Add an automated "check for update" feature into your software applications. Web Update ensures that your clients are always working with the latest version of your software. It lets you specify settings for periodic updates over the Internet. This client application periodically checks the web for updates, then downloads and installs the newer files
* Ultra Compact and Fast Installer Engine - SetupBuilder has always been the industry-leader in low-overhead, high-performance software installers and we are committed to staying leaps ahead of the competition. Compare our tiny ~160 KB runtime overhead (including uninstall) to the competition and see for yourself
* setupPROTECT - Generate Serial Numbers and Subscription Keys to protect your installations. This technology is well suited for software subscription services in which the end-users subscribe, for instance on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, etc. basis
* Set Access Control - Restrict or grant permission to system resources with a single script command. Set access control lists on a variety of system objects. Add, edit and remove permissions of files, registry keys, and created folders.
* Delta Updates (Binary Patching) - Create industry-standard (multi-version) byte-level patch installations to distribute repairs and updates
* Release Management - Support for efficient project release management. Create multiple versions of an application from a single project
* Command Line Compiler - Automate your installation build process by building your project from the command line
* Visual Script Debugger - Isolate and resolve problems that arise in your installation scripts. It allows you to track changes in the variables and settings within your installation as they occur
* International Language Support - SetupBuilder offers unsurpassed support for multilingual installations right out of the box. One installation can handle up to 29 "runtime" languages
* Maintenance and Support Subscription Included - The initial purchase of your new SetupBuilder license includes a Maintenance and Support Subscription Plan under which you are eligible for support, upgrades and updates. It also comes with a free Annual Lindersoft Community Premium Membership that allows you to purchase selected 3rd party products at a discounted price. You can purchase Comodo code signing certificates for as little as $66 per year (on a three year term)
