With its award-winning innovative visual development environment Setup Specialist 2002 offers you a powerful, flexible, yet easy way to deploy your application to your customers. Its built- in training card feature guides you through the setup creation process enabling you to create professional setup programs without writing a single line of source code.

Online Distribution
With the growing importance of online distribution methods it is essential that an installer comes with built-in support for these new technologies - Setup Specialist fulfils these criteria by creating single- file installers that are ideally suited for this purpose. The data compression technology used by Setup Specialist ensures that your customers do not take longer to download your application than absolutely necessary. With the new WebSetup™ technology provided by Setup Specialist Professional Edition you can further improve the reliability and user- friendliness of your downloadable setups: After your user downloads just a small installer, the remaining components are downloaded on-demand when the setup program is running.

Visual Setup Development
Setup Specialist's visual setup development environment is organized as a tabbed dialog window. Its advanced customization capabilities give you complete control of nearly any aspect and feature of the setup process you can imagine.

Flexibility
Setup Specialist gives you total control of nearly any aspect and feature of the setup process you can imagine. You can choose among thirteen pre-built user interface dialogs that can be included in the setup program - from a simple "Welcome" dialog over a destination directory prompt to a "User Information" dialog that can even record serial numbers and unlock codes in addition to the user's name.
Should the need arise you can add even more flexibility to your setup program by utilizing a feature of Setup Specialist that allows you to customize your setup program using a plug-in DLL that can respond to various events during the setup process.
Of course, Setup Specialist also provides support for modifying the Windows registry as well as INI files. The ability to launch external programs during the setup process gives you nearly unlimited possibilities.

Watch Application Wizard
Quite a few applications fail to install or run on the end-user's computer because the developer has accidentally left out a vital DLL or ActiveX control. These problems no longer exist if you use Setup Specialist's Watch application wizard, which automatically determines the required components of your application.

International Support
Setup Specialist 2002 currently supports 11 installation languages giving your product access to international markets. With Setup Specialist Professional Edition your end-user can even select his desired installation language just before the installation starts.

Advanced Features
Setup Specialist also offers a lot of advanced features ranging from selective installations ("custom setup") to TrueType font installation capabilities, password protection and checking of system requirements.
With Setup Specialist's Professional Edition you can even conditionally install files, shortcuts/icons, registry entries or launch external programs depending on the target platform or external variables.

These features give you full control over the installation of your application - however complicated it may be. The full integration into Setup Specialist's visual setup development concept ensures that a professional setup program is not more than a few mouse clicks away.
