Our Front end has three forms and the first form has eight frames.These Frames are designed in such a way that a user can move the Tab strip and give his options.

A Context Sensitive Help has been written for “INSTALL PROVIDER”,so that user can have a guidance in using this software.
The Help File is been written in “Rich Text Format” in MS-Word and has been given to Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to generate the help file.
This Help file is been linked with the Front End VB Form.User can use this help file to a get a idea of what kind of data is to be given as input.

The information collected from the front page which is provided by the user and is converted into a NSIS Script File (.nsi).
NSIS, which stands for "Nullsoft SuperPIMP Installation System" or "Nullsoft Scriptable Installation System. A NSIS script is just a regular text file with a special syntax. You can edit scripts with every text editor. A NSIS Script File (.nsi) is just a text file with a series of commands.
