The Clickteam is the developers behind the titles Klik & Play, Corel Click & Create, and IMSI Multimedia Fusion.
The Clickteam has recently developed a very powerful line of developer tools I would like to tell you about.
These products are cool and fully functional.
Install Maker:
Web Page: http://www.clickteam.com/web/im/about_cadre.htm
Download: http://ftp://clickteam.com/Install_Maker/IMUS12r.exe
Advertising blurb:
Install Maker is an installation creator. It gather files together in a surprisingly small installable file, and automatically creates a distributable installation wizard that drives the entire installation process on the user's machine.
No scripting: Install Maker is different from the leading installation package as it does not force you to use a scripting language. Everything is done from a simple step-by-step wizard or the easy-to-use graphical interface.
Powerful features: even without scripting, Install Maker contains advanced options to install fonts, ActiveX objects, check the version of DLLs, access to INI files or registry keys etc.
Customizable texts: change all the texts, import foreign installer text templates in twelve different language (and growing), or create your own templates for your line of products.
Automatic un-installer: Install Maker automatically generates an un-installer that will remove all traces of your application on the user's machine.
Very small file size, optimized for the Internet: the entire installer and un-installer fits in only 60Kbytes, and yet use a friendly wizard-like interface. Compare this to other installers which ask for as much as 500Kytes for the same result. 60 Kbytes is less than 10 seconds of downloading time at 57Kbauds - more than one minute of connection saved.
Patch Maker:

Download: http://ftp://clickteam.com/Patch_Maker/PMUS12r.exe
Advertising blurb:
Clickteam Patch Maker is the ultimate tool for delivery software updates and patches for your applications. Patch Maker creates a very compressed and very secure executable patch/upgrade installation very easily. Compared to similar software, Patch Maker is by far the fastest. It also has one of the best compression ratios available. As with Install Maker by Clickteam, Patch Maker produces an all-in-one executable instantly. These executable have a surprisingly small size : the minimum size is only 50Kb, which equates to 10 seconds with a 56K modem connection. You save your customer valuable connection time. Patch Maker handles upgrades from multiple previous versions to a final version, for example you can have in the same patch upgrades from V1.0 to V1.2 and V1.1 to V1.2.
SynchronX:
Web Page: http://www.clickteam.com/web/synchronx/about_cadre.htm
Download: http://ftp://clickteam.com/SynchronX/SynchronX_English.exe
Advertising blurb:
SynchronX, is a very small and free utility that allows you to make two directories identical by copying any modified files from one directory to another. This is all it does, but it does it efficiently and fast.
All of these products come in a fully functional freeware version. In fact the only difference between the freeware and registered version is a small discrete advertisement at the end. SychronX is only freeware there is not a registered version.
