Review
Centurion Setup creates executable installation programs that are self-contained in a single file. A single file is easily downloaded, requires no software such as WinZip to decompress, and ensures that all installation files are present. Spend just a few minutes with Centurion Setup, and it will build a professional software installer for Windows in a self-contained, compressed executable. |
What's new in version 22.0
·Major interface improvements, too many to list. Added support for Aero Glass (Vista/2008/7). Improved appearance, layout, margins, skins.
· Added the ability for the end-user to change the location of the Start Menu shortcuts. Simply check the "Allow User To Choose Start Menu Location" box on the Locations branch.
· Added the ability to notify the developer when an installation and/or uninstallation is complete by making an HTTP request. Please see the "Notification" section of the Completion branch.
· Added the "Browse Background Schemes" tool.
· Added the "Installer Description" field to the Build branch. Previously this was hard-coded to "Installer for ".
· Added the "Offer To Open History" setting to the Completion branch.
· Added the "Upgrade" and "Reinstall" batches.
· Added the "Automatic Color Scheme" box to the Display branch. If checked, the background and copyright colors are automatically matched to the side panel graphic.
· Added the "Side Panel Border" option to the Display branch.
· Added support for installer/uninstaller .ICO files that contain more than one icon.
· Added a high resolution shell icon for Vista/2008/7.
· Added the ability to import the Deletions Table from another project.
· Added the /ed switch, which sets the installer's expiration date to a specified number of days in the future.
· Added the "Preview" button to the Desktop Shortcut Folder Icon field.
· Added a row of buttons along the bottom of the Exclusions field.
· The installer's dialog buttons are now narrower, taller, and right justified.
· The installer's dialog captions now have an icon.
· Improved the "Preview Image" tool. Added a toolbar. It can now display any frame of a multi-image ICO or GIF. Added the ability to copy and save the image. The size of the image is displayed. The window will now remember its size and position.
· Improved the method for synthesizing the copyright color.
· Numerous improvements to the Help file.
· For the Pre-Installation, Upgrade, Reinstall, and Post-Installation Batches, if "Hide DOS Window" is checked, the output from the batch will now be written to the Installation Log.
· The installer will now record (in the registry) the product's estimated size. This is reported on the Windows 7 "Programs and Features" window.
· The installer's caption exit buttons are now all disabled. Previously they were enabled, although clicking them would have no effect.
· The last button before installation starts is now labeled "Install" instead of "Continue".
· The uninstaller's exit code is now 0 instead of 1. This should help prevent Vista from reporting that the uninstallation failed.
· The uninstaller now reports an error if it cannot load the Uninstall.dat file.
· The "Disallow Network Installations" feature can now detect when a drive letter is mapped to a network folder, and therefore refuse to install.
· The installer now logs the system error if the product cannot be registered for uninstallation.
· The installation log now includes the operating system version and edition.
· The installation log now includes the version of the existing installation, if present.
· The build progress window now displays the number of input bytes and compressed output bytes.
· The "Preview File Specification" tool now lists the largest, smallest, and average file size.
· The "Grant Security Rights" feature will no longer grant security rights to the Shared directory if there are no Shared files.
· The "Total Overhead" statistic no longer rounds up to the nearest multiple of 4096.
· The "Build Zip" tool now reports the size of the Zip file. It also performs better error checking.
· The installer's "Choose Installation Directory" controls have been moved down for an improved appearance.
· No delayed installation is attempted if the destination is an invalid drive.
· For new projects, "Disallow Network Installations" and "Disallow Removable Media" are now checked by default. More often than not, installations to network and floppy/optical/USB drives cause problems for the developer.
· For new projects, "Disallow Abort" is now checked by default. Aborting an installation could possibly cause problems.
· For new projects, the new "Bind Executables" option is now unchecked by default. There is a slight chance that it could damage certain executables (such as those compressed by Bitsum's PECompact software). Be sure to test executables after installation if this feature is enabled.
· For new projects, the new "Check Signatures" option is now unchecked by default. Better to let the user enable this feature if it is desired.
· The "Copy Installer to A:" tool has been removed. Floppy drives are extinct. We are also considering removing the "Copy Installer to Media" tool and the "Multiple Disk Spanning" feature. If you use either of these, please let us know.
· Fixed: the "Report errors in automatic mode" setting was sometimes being ignored.
· Fixed: when the installer or uninstaller causes a reboot, some systems were displaying a popup message after booting.
· Fixed: the installer's Browse window was not scrolling the folder into view on Windows 7 due to an operating system bug. A work-around has been implemented.
· Fixed: the "Import Uninstall Data" tool no longer also imports the Firewall table.
· Fixed: after performing an auto-close, the installer was not always regaining focus.
· Fixed: when the user rejects the synthesized color scheme, the copyright color was not being restored.
· Fixed: improved detection of whether or not a drive is a USB flash drive.
· Fixed: the uninstaller was not always refreshing the desktop. What's new in version 17.0
