Developer’s Description

Create installation packages for Windows applications.

Excelsior Installer is a freeware tool to create good-looking and compact installers for your Windows applications. It is designed to be as easy to use as possible. To build the installer you use its wizard-style Packager which guides through the packaging process and suggests a rich set of reasonable default parameter values so that only a few items have to be filled-in manually.

Setup packages are produced in form of self-installing EXE files, which is most suitable for Internet distribution. Good data compression and small installer overhead in the package allows avoid using additional compression software for your code and data. Each setup package supports English, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian and Spanish installation languages with automatic or manual language selection. Version 1.8 provides integration with NSIS, which makes it possible to use the Excelsior Installer as a GUI wizard helping a novice to create NSIS scripts for their packages.

Pros
I needed a way to install files to a community project. The default method has been to drag folders into the install folder. I needed an installer for those who just like to click, and that's it. The results I get from using this easy to use installer is very professional looking and works perfectly. My personal thanks to the team!

It does what it promisses to do
leok7vDecember 13, 2007
Pros
Free and much easier to use than Install Shield.<p>I had forced at my last company to use Install Shield for a very simple application and it took weeks to tweak and produce simple .msi and .exe installers.<p>Excelsior Installer did it in seconds. Install Shield had huge overhead and misbehaved on many platforms. Excelsior Installer had no overhead and worked everywhere.
Cons
I wish simple first-run and pre-uninstall hooks features via both command file options of installing/installed application and/or Dll entry points. That's all I miss.
Summary
