Create Windows Installers

Ready to distribute your software masterpiece? Don't wrestle for weeks with a complicated installation builder. Spend just a few minutes with Centurion Setup, and it will build a professional software installer in a self-contained, compressed executable.

Key Features

Self-Contained Executable

Centurion Setup creates an installer that is completely self-contained in a single executable file. It will run on Windows XP or later with no additional requirements.

The installer's overhead is only 1.4 MB and the compression engine achieves a very high compression ratio. You will be amazed at how small Centurion Setup can make the installer. A small installer will reduce load on your web server and reduce the number of failed downloads.

Multilingualism and Interface Customization

The installer is capable of presenting the user interface in English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, and Afrikaans. All strings that are displayed in the user interface can be edited. Entire languages can be added.

Shared File Support

The installer can install operating system DLL's. If a DLL is currently in use, the user will be instructed to reboot the computer to complete the installation. Version and date checking is performed on DLL's according to Microsoft guidelines.

The installer can install reference counted shared files in a company folder. Shared files can be used by multiple applications, and are only replaced by more recently dated files. Only when uninstalling the last program that uses the shared file will the file be uninstalled.

File Associations

The installer can install an association between a file type and one of your programs, like the way .TXT files are associated with Notepad. Once the file type is associated, the user can double click on any file of that type to launch your program. Or, the user can right click on the associated file for a menu of options.

If there happens to be an existing association for the file type, the installer will create a backup that is restored by the uninstaller. Also, you are permitted to install context options for a common file type, such as .TXT files.

Additional Features

Centurion Setup and the installers that it creates run on all versions of Windows since XP. Although Centurion Setup itself is a 64-bit app, its installers can run on both 32 and 64-bit systems.
Installers created by Centurion Setup may be distributed completely royalty-free.
A Centurion Setup installer is bullet-proof and extremely reliable. You will never get a complaint from a customer that the installation program has crashed.
Can install Device drivers, Control Panel extensions, and .MSI packages.
COM files can be installed and registered with the operating system. This includes ActiveX controls and .TLB type libraries.
Registry keys and values can be installed and uninstalled. For user-specific data, a separate value can be installed for every user.
To satisfy special needs, a batch of MS-DOS commands can be executed before and after both installation and uninstallation.
The installer can add exceptions to the Windows Firewall.
Centurion Setup's installers can be digitally signed.
A restore point can be created before installation.
The installer can install to a default location or ask the end-user where.
The installer can create Desktop and/or Start Menu shortcuts to any installed file.
Any installed file can be configured to open during bootup.
After the installer is built, it can be automatically placed in a .ZIP file.
The installer can require the end-user to enter a password before installation can begin.
The installer can be encrypted with a random key. If a virus scanner is producing a false positive, simply rebuild the installer.
The installer can be bloated (with random data) to any size to help discourage piracy.
The installer can refuse to install on certain platforms, such as Windows XP.
Fonts can be installed and registered with the Operating System so that they are available to all applications. The end-user can be given the option to keep the font during uninstallation.
The installer can replace locked files during the next reboot.
Installers can be set to expire after a certain date. After the expiration date, the installer will no longer install.
Both 32 and 64 bit applications are supported.
The installer can loosen the security settings of the product's folder so that all users will have rights to use it.
The installer verifies its integrity to ensure that it has not been damaged, altered, or infected by viruses.
The installer can delete existing files based on date or size criteria. This can be useful when installing over old versions of your software.
A patch installer can be created. Centurion Setup can automatically determine what files have changed and should therefore be included in the patch.
