5. Install Provider
Scope and Features

6. You have always asked yourself how you could publish your software as easy as -for example- Microsoft's “Install shield" - with full install and uninstall support, but using only a few KB's for the installation stuff .... optimal for distributing over the Internet ?

7. You are looking for a tool that has the power to offer advanced setup functionality combined with extremely Small and Smart installation packages (that would increase your package by just ... let's say ... between kb?....)

8. You want to publish your software via the Internet, and want to make the installation part of your program as tiny as possible?

9. You want to use fast and easy installation routines?
Your project want to run under Windows98, Windows 2000 ,Windows XP or Windows NT 4?
You need "single EXE" setups?
You need a setup program which supports more languages than just English ?
