Mep Installer2.1.3

Mep Installer is a lightweight software application specialized in creating Windows installation packages, compiling the setups, as well as running the installations to identify possible errors.When you open the utility for the first time, you are given the option to create a new project, generate a brand-new project using the built-in wizard, or open an existing one. The tool also offers support for several project examples that can be edited.

Project wizard

Rookies may appeal to the built-in wizard in order to define a new project, as they are offered guidance throughout the entire process.Mep Installer lets you add some basic information about your application, such as name, version, publisher and website, specify the directory (enter the folder name and allow users to change the program’s folder), add the main executable file, enable users to start the utility at the end of the setup, as well as embed other files and folders in your project.In addition, you may specify which icons should be created for your tool (create an Internet shortcut and Uninstall icon in the Start Menu folder, allow users to change the Start Menu folder name and disable the Start Menu folder creation), as well as let users create a desktop and Quick Launch icon.You are allowed to insert the documentation files which are used during the setup, such as license files, information files shown before or after the installation, as well as wizard images (BMP file format).Mep Installer gives you the freedom to choose the setup languages that are included in the package, configure several basic compiler settings (e.g. custom compiler of the output folder and base filename), and set up a password (it can be used for encrypting the application files as well).Last but not least, you may give permissions for installing the program to anyone, advanced users or only administrators, pick the installation type (normal, silent or hidden), enter the application ID, specify the minimum Windows version, and deploy the target package only below a custom Windows version.

Script editing and exporting options

The utility reveals the content of the script in the main window and lets you make use of several editing features, such as cut, copy, paste, delete, and find items, undo or redo your actions, as well as export the script to HTML or RTF file format.

Configuration settings

Mep Installer comes with several configuration parameters that help you create backups upon saving, turn on the high priority mode during compilation, make file associations for the MPI file format, use syntax highlighting, as well as change the icon of the installation module without having to define the icon in each project.

An overall efficient setup creator

In conclusion, Mep Installer integrates a handy suite of features for helping you generate installation packages, and can be mastered by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
