Bytessence InstallMaker
Bytessence InstallMaker
(BIM for short) is a setup file creator for the Windows (R) Platform.
It is lightweight, easy to use and yet filled with rich features. You
can use it to generate single .exe files that will carry your files in
a compressed form and also do various tasks to ensure a perfect
installation of your product. It uses the very popular ZIP algorithm
due to it's good compression ratio, compatibility and high speed. Screenshots
