DRPU Setup Creator is a visual, no-scripting developer tool used to bundle Windows applications into self-extracting .exe installation wizards. It bypasses the need for complex coding by using a step-by-step graphical wizard.
Here is the step-by-step tutorial guide to creating an installer using the DRPU Setup Creator software: Step 1: General Product Information
Launch the application and fill out the basic metadata for your software program. Product Name: Enter the official title of your application.
Product Version: Specify the current release version (e.g., 1.0.0). Company Name: Input your company or developer name.
Default Destination Path: Define where the application will install on the client’s PC (e.g., C:\Program Files\YourAppName). Step 2: Configure Dialog Screens
Customize the visual steps the end-user will see when running your .exe file. Click the Dialogs button.
Select which screens to display: Welcome screen, License Agreement, Readme files, and Choose Destination Location.
Upload custom .txt or .rtf files for your License Agreement terms. Step 3: Add Files and Folders
This is where you load the actual application files that need to be packaged. Click the Files or Browse button.
Select the primary executable file (.exe) of your software application.
Add any supporting dependencies, databases, DLLs, or assets required for the program to run. Step 4: Create Shortcuts and Registry Entries
Set up how the user interacts with the application post-installation.
Icons: Check the boxes to automatically generate Desktop Shortcuts and Start Menu Icons.
Registry (Optional): Input any registry keys or paths your program needs to modify or add upon setup. Step 5: Configure the Uninstaller Ensure your application can be cleanly removed by the user.
Navigate to the Uninstall menu and click the General button.
Specify the Uninstall Title and your company’s product support webpage.
This automatically generates an entry in the Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel. Step 6: Build and Save the Installer
Choose the output directory on your local PC where you want the final package saved. Click Build or Generate.
The tool compresses the files into a single, compact, self-extracting .exe setup wizard ready for distribution over the internet or physical media. If you want to customize your setup further, let me know:
Do you need to include a specific license agreement (.txt/.rtf) file?
Do you need to bundle specific registry keys with the build?
