A short description:

Design full-featured, 32-bit Windows Software Setup solutions
(including Uninstall functionality) in seconds!

INF-Tool offers 6 setup methods which are based on Windows' INF technology. Thus, due to their 100% Windows integration and their incredibly small overhead of only a few KB's (!), INF-Tool will make any other bulky (and expensive) installation software obsolete for you!

The extremely easy interface of INF-Tool's "single EXE" setup packages will make your installations and updates bullet-proof, even for novice users.

From now on forget about:

• wasting your time designing installation software
• wasting your money for "bloatware" installers
• wasting your customer's and companies' money transferring huge parts of your packages via Internet or Mailboxes just for those inevitable installation routines!

     (Download) SIZE COUNTS - just ask potential customers.

2 versions of INF-Tool are available:
INF-Tool Lite - the FREE installer (for private use and Freeware stuff)
INF-Tool Professional - even more power for just $59.00 (for business use)

Since INF-Tool Lite is now FREEWARE, this makes it the perfect setup solution for non-business organizations and Freeware developers. INF-Tool Professional is one of the most innovative and award-winning 32bit Windows setup programs and continously updated with new features.
