windows XP setup Simulator is a program that teaches you how to install windows XP, without having to worry you will mess up your hardware or software.

It just simulates installing windows XP as if it was the real setup. It reproduces every step exactly as it is in the real setup, and it does not restart your computer.

This program can also be used as a guide for learning how to install windows 2003, because the steps are very similar. The package also includes an e-book that explains every step of the windows XP setup and some other windows XP Basics.

InstallerXpert application provides you with a simple way to create complete installations in a couple of hours.

Although InstallerXpert does not use the Microsoft windows Installer service, it can perform almost all of its functions. By not using the Microsoft windows Installer service, InstallerXpert can provide the following features that are not available with windows Installer-based setup authoring programs.

A setup program created with InstallerXpert does not include the windows Installer Service, and it means smaller setups.

Although Microsoft ships windows 2000, windows Me, and windows XP with the windows Installer service, all other operating systems to date do not ship with this service. Therefore, if you use a setup program that uses windows Installer service, the installer service must be installed before your setup can run.

There are two versions of this setup—one for windows NT 4.0 and one for windows 9x. Each of these setups requires more than 1.4 MB of disk space. Because of these file size requirements, you cannot distribute your setup program on a floppy disk if you need to distribute the windows Installer service setups as well.

In addition the ".msi" file used by windows Installer service cannot be spanned across multiple disks and it must reside on the first disk of your setup. Therefore, if you want to include all of your files in one compressed ".msi" file, it might not fit on one floppy disk.

With InstallerXpert, you can distribute setups on floppy disks, regardless of how large your source files may be.

Here are some key features of "InstallerXpert":

· Easy-To-Use Interface
· Extensibility with Custom Actions
· Dynamic File Linking
· Ability to be used as a backup utility
· Online Help Library
· Web-Based Help
· Support for a wide range of operating systems

A programming tool that enables you to quickly develop setup installation programs for windows as easily as using an HTML editor. It includes a wizard for creating setup installation programs which are written in the DialogScript programming language. The Wizard will generate all the code for a complete setup installation program. Setupinstallation programs can be tested instantly using the wizard and viewed in Full Screen. You can then create an EXE file which can then be run just like any other windows application. Registered users can distribute the EXE files created by V-Setup without any further payment being required. V-Setup is not intended to be an alternative to installation programs like Installshield for setup installationdevelopment. But it is a better choice when you need a simple utility or a quick solution to deploy your software fast and efficiently. Most V-Setup installations can be written and tested in a matter of minutes once you are familiar with the wizard interface.
