InstallJammer Description

What's the first thing your customer sees when they download your product? If you're smart, it's not the contents of a .zip or .tar file. It's an installer. If you're really lucky, it's not an ugly installer, and it lets the user get through the process as quickly as possible without confusion. What do you do if you're a smart developer, and you're developing your application for multiple platforms? Let InstallJammer show you the way. InstallJammer is a free, open source, cross-platform GUI installer with all the features of the commercial boys but with all the joys of open source. InstallJammer leverages the power and extremely small footprint of Tcl/Tk to create an installer that looks native on the platforms it runs on while providing a powerful scripting language for your installers to do any heavy lifting.

InstallJammer handles all of the hard stuff and lets you create your installers by just dragging and dropping files. You can have a simple installer up and running in just minutes, or you can build on the power of the built-in actions and conditions of InstallJammer to make something really incredible. InstallJammer installers are integrated with build systems for the target platform including: the Windows program registry, RPM and dpkg, so just because you use an installer doesn't mean that your user can't use their built-in package managers to manage their computer.
