Introduction: Tarma Setup is a tool developed for program installing and uninstalling for Windows 9x / NT4 applications. Its design goals are to provide Windows-compliant install/uninstall functionality with a small distribution size, a straightforward user interface, smart install and uninstall behavior, and simple setup specification and installation log files. Here are some key features of "Tarma Setup": · Microsoft Windows-compliant software installation and removal · Straightforward user interface, requiring minimal user interaction for both installation and removal · Optional Readme (before and after installation) and License Agreement pages · User-selectable installation folder with sensible defaults · Creation of application shortcuts on the Windows Desktop, Start menu, and/or Programs folder, at the user's discretion · Creation of an application folder with additional shortcuts under the Programs folder of the Windows Start menu · Installation of new or modified files, including the creation of all required folders · Built-in support for the registration of DLLs, ActiveX controls, device drivers, type libraries, and REGEDIT4 files - no need for separate regsvr32.exe, regini.exe, or other registration utilities · Delayed installation of (system) files that are in use during the installation process · Post-boot registration of DLLs, ActiveX controls, type libraries, etc. if necessitated by delayed installation of new files · Platform-dependent installation of file groups to allow different installation configurations for Windows 95, 98, and NT4 · One-click uninstall functionality that completely removes all installed components: files, folders, shortcuts, registry entries, and the uninstaller itself · Smart uninstall of shared files - will correctly and without user intervention remove or retain shared (system) files even if their SharedDlls reference counts are unreliable · Application-accessible and fully documented installation log to allow the installed application to modify the items listed for removal · Small distribution size: a single executable of only 58 KB incorporates all install/registration/uninstall functionality. The accompanying Setup.ini file is typically 2-5 KB, depending on the application being installed
