Setup Factory 8.0 is the result of over a decade of experience in
creating software installation tools. Unlike other installer builders
that require week-long training courses in order to get up to speed,
Setup Factory was designed to be fast and easy to use. By pairing a
visual layout of your software's files and folders with a
point-and-click interface, the entire process becomes completely
logical and absolutely painless. What's more, Setup Factory creates a
compact, single-file setup.exe that runs on any version of Windows from
95 to Vista and is perfect for distribution by web download, CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM and LAN.
Setup Factory 8.0 is simply a better way to make software installers. We guarantee it or you'll get your money back.
- Rapid Installer Development. With Setup Factory
8.0, you simply drag and drop your files onto the project window, and
click on the publish button. That's it. It's really that simple. You'll
be up and running in minutes. The Project Wizard can even walk you
through it. Whether you want to create shortcut icons on the desktop
and start menu, or configure an uninstaller in the control panel's
Add/Remove Programs panel, it's all just a few clicks away. The same
thing goes for adding in third-party runtime modules, with support for
Visual Basic, .NET and more.
- Powerful Enough For Any Installation Task.
When you want the ultimate in power and flexibility, you can turn to
the all-new scripting engine found in Setup Factory 8.0. This easy to
understand language features everything from loops and conditions to
functions, variables and arrays. It's packed with hundreds of functions
to handle everything from text file editing to system registry changes.
You can execute programs, call DLL functions, manipulate strings,
enumerate processes, interact with web scripts and much more. And
thanks to the fill-in-the-blanks style Action Wizard, anybody can
create powerful installers that handle complex installation tasks with
ease.
- Fully Customizable. While other installer builders
make you settle for the same old look, Setup Factory 8.0 includes an
innovative visual theme system and full featured dialog editor. Choose
from dozens of pre-made themes or even make your own. It's as easy as
viewing a live dialog preview and picking your favorite style. You can
configure everything from fonts and banners to graphics, colors and
much more. Whether you want your installers to look corporate, modern
or artistic, you can do it with ease.

seriously. You can leverage our years of experience making rock-solid
software installers by choosing Setup Factory 8.0.
Competitive Position
Many software installation tools have reached a point where they've
become overly complicated. To some extent this is a reflection of the
task at hand; it takes some very advanced features to get software
installed safely on a modern system. Unfortunately, for many other
tools "advanced" has come to mean "complicated."
At Indigo Rose, we want to empower developers, not confuse them.
Setup Factory has been designed and perfected over 15 years to make
installation and deployment intuitive and straightforward. Like
competing tools, it has a feature list full of advanced install
abilities and technology. But what's unique to Setup Factory is the way
it presents all of these features. Unlike other tools, there are no
hurdles in the way of just getting things done.
Everything from checking system requirements to creating
multilingual translations is handled in a way that makes sense. All of
the advanced features are there, from the innovative visual skinning
system, to the high-performance scripting engine. But with Setup
Factory, the basics are still easy, and building a normal installer is
still a quick five minute, drag-and-drop affair. Even Setup Factory's
intelligent screen layout system keeps things simple. To make room for
text, you don't have to worry about positioning controls or moving
things around; you just type it in, and it works.
The end-user experience is just as straightforward. Setup Factory is
completely self-contained and does not require any preinstalled
services. In fact, its setup executables are compatible all the way
back to Windows 95 without any external dependencies - including MSI.
It doesn't take forever to extract, it doesn't need to be bootstrapped
with anything, it doesn't depend on services which might be turned off,
and it doesn't leave behind any messy uninstallation problems.
For years we've been winning customers from other installation tools
because of our strong user community and our refreshingly personal
product support. Like Setup Factory, this is driven by a single, simple
question: if we were our customers, how would we want it to work?
