Install Creator

Makes creating installers for your games and apps quick and easy

Spend your time developing your creations not building the installers. Download the fully functional freeware version of Install Creator and create your first installation in less than one minute!
Then you decide which way is better!

The freeware version

Yes, you read it right, freeware version! A complete version of Install Creator with unlimited rights to produce installers for both commercial and non commercial products. Each installer will contain an advertisement page for Clickteam when the installation is complete, with a button to connect to our web site.... And that final advertisement is all we ask. There are absolutely no limitations in the functionality, and no annoying "nag screens" in the software.

The registered version

The same version as above, without any advertisement. Here, too, you get unlimited rights to create installers for both commercial and non-commercial products.
Purchase a registered version in the online store. Fax and postal mail registration also available.

Install Creator Pro

The registered version

A version specially designed for professional use, and especially for people who write shareware and make register-able demo versions. Its basically the same interface as the regular version, with the possibility of having several versions of the software in the installer, for example one version for unregistered users, and one version for registered users, with the possibility to protect a version with registration codes and other nice features.

Install Creator Pro can be purchased in our online web-shop. A serial number will be sent to you by email after your purchase and you can begin to build installers right away
Note: the unregistered version of the Professional version is only an evaluation demo version, it is not freeware. Only the unregistered version of the Standard version is freeware.

System requirements for created install programs

  • Windows 95 / 98 / Me / NT 4 / 2000 / XP / Vista or above
  • 16 Mb RAM or greater

What makes Install Creator different from other Installers?

  • Small footprint of the executable
    An empty installer is only 100Kb. We cram the complete professional installation program and the complete uninstaller in 100kb! Compare that with other installer programs: minimums of 500Kb. We feel it is inexcusable to have a 500Kb installer!
  • A simple and easy to understand interface
    There's no complex scripting language, you simply select a directory that contains the files to install and set options for any special individual files and that's it, you're done.
  • Easy step by step wizard - it's a cinch!
    When the project is done, just save the settings and you can load the project later to update it or use it as a template for your next installer.
  • Complete customization
    You can change all the texts, choose any bitmaps, customize each screen of your installer. And you can preview the look of the install process at anytime during the creation process.
  • Fully functional freeware version
    The freeware version is fully and completely operational. You will not find a better installer even at 10 times the price. You have nothing to lose test it out today.
    All these features sound obvious and standard - don't they? So why do we still find programs on the Internet that decompress the data files onto the desktop (isn't that annoying?). Then there are the programs without proper de-installation routines, and products that create a directory at the root of your C drive instead of directing the files where you want them.
