Alibaba has made an incredibly good installer. Now I have modified Base Frame to use the installer.
Note, it is currently BETA there are still some issues and more features are coming!
When you want to publish an application written in AutoHotKey, you may want to have an installer and an update checker.
This Base Frame has both of them!
Features:
- Full featured installer
- Can make an ordinary install into the Program Files folder and provide an uninstaller
- Can also extract the files into any folder (portable installation)
- Can detect an already existing installation and update the application
- Show license during install
- Update Checker (optional)
- Checks for an update on every start of the application
- If a new version is available and the user wishes, downloads the intstaller and startst the update process
It's easy to use. It won't take more than 10 minutes to make the installer for your AHK project. There is a help file with a quick start guide.
It's available in English and German. Other translations can be made easily.
