Pros
- Ghost Installer Free Edition is an intuitive software for creating installation packages, making it user-friendly especially for beginners.
- It provides three distinct templates containing source codes for various types of installation packets - basic, advanced, and multiple.
- The program offers users the flexibility to customize these templates based on their unique needs.
- Despite being a free edition, it allows manual generation of installation packets offering hands-on learning experience in programming.
- Upon completing the project, you can save your work and compile the project into a fully functional installer.
Cons
- Unlike its commercial version which features a graphical interface, the free edition only offers a source code editor that could be challenging for less tech-savvy users.
- There's potential complexity in understanding how to use standard XML as it requires some level of coding knowledge.
- Its usability might be limited due to lack of additional features offered in paid versions like automatic generation of installers.
- The editing capabilities might not meet expectations if you're used to sophisticated tools or IDEs (Integrated Development Environment).
- For individuals new to programming meta-language or coding generally, navigating this tool could seem daunting initially before getting acquainted with it properly.
