Advanced Setup Creator

[toto621]

Well i'm really not a fan of windows 10 style (i was not on win8 too) but any news about ASC is good to read

I'm really impatient to test ASC and try to make my own template/style with it

[Razor12911]

I don't like it either, just using it because it utilise almost all the features in ASC, that way, it makes it very easy for me to detect bugs.

New version

Hi guys, unfortunately, All setup files created wih ASC will show copyright messages at startup.
I know nobody likes those messages but at least that way, people won't put their name on an installer that was made with my program.
It took nearly a year for the program to be created which is hardwork and I surely deserve the credit and it is a free program.
There is only one template because I have been changing project types with encryption that ended up messing up the other templates and made them useless, the only way to recover is to remake the template and I am too tired for that.
This is the last release maybe in a month or two, I got assignments to do and I have to prepare for an examination, only use my spare time to update the program.
Will have to make a separate UltraARC for ASC. This will do the same job as the one for IC, CI, CIU and the other scripts but the records.ini will be part of setup.exe.
Enjoy the program.

Title of topic has been changed as requested.

Simple amazing what you have done with this all from scratch. Copyright Info SHOULD be locked within, making it impossible to be removed, without having the source code.
Template in first post looks fantastic & only imagination needs to be used for further templates or what can be created with it.

Thanks again for all that you have done for us here.

Hi, just trying this installer creator and i have noticed that it has component tab.
It's possible to do collection conversion with this installer creator or it's not possible yet?

Yes, it is possible.

About the copyright, it depend how it is implemented. If it's a big self glorifying stuff each time you press next (which I highly doubt knowing razor) I don't think it will be appreciated

I assume you think like an "about" button, next to "minimize" one for example with information about ASC and it's author and perhaps a link to it's official thread. In that case no problem at all of course

The problem is where am I going to put the button for copyright because if I just add a button for copyright, user comes, then removes the button. I get what you're saying but there isn't any other place where I can put it unless if you can suggest one.

[toto621]

@Razor:
Simply render the "about" button mandatory for each template. Allow us to customize it's form, font and placement but not it's text content and it will be ok for everyone

Problem, what you're suggesting can be edited or removed.

Honestly I think no matter what you try it could be edited or removed so why not made something non-invasive for respectful users.

If you try to make something too invasive then most of people will try (and most probably succeed) to edit it or simply do not use ASC.

I understand you want credits for your work but if nearly nobody use it what's the point...

you can make free version of asc with copyright/ads
and Paid asc version with no copyright

ASC should have your details on it Razor but not the conversion created with ASC. I would have to agree with toto when he says people may not use ASC if the created installer has advertising on it.

This has already been discussed, the main problem with making a 'Paid' version is someone will just release the paid version to another site. So the paid version will just get shared more times than people download the Free version.
I'm all for Razor making money from his program but there has to be another way to do it instead of releasing 2 versions.

[Razor12911]

Alright, I'll remove the credits.

Windows 8/8.1 users, can you please run this on your computers.
Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 10 users can test it too, but main priority operating system to test on is Windows 8/8.1.

Use Task Manager to close setup.
