Easy to use install creator? Yes!
It's all complicated these days. NSIS is really hard to use, some cost money, and most of them are not able to be used by very unexperienced users. I wanted to change that. It all began with a DOS machine I had here. I wanted to install a whole library of software on it, that I had laying around, but I didn't want to use xcopy a million times. So I began work on a simple installer prototype using Microsoft QuickBasic. It turned out to work very nicely! Infact, I liked it so much, that I began to work on a multiplatform specification, and transfer it to different basic dialects for different operating systems.
