AWinstall 4.6

Are you tired of bloated setups? Are you fed up with fatty installers? Don’t you hate it when you have to learn cryptic language scripts? If you answered “Yes” to all these questions, then I present to you the Lokas Software-developed application AWinstall, a professional installation development system.

To start using the application, you must first download it off the web. You will like that the download weighs in at little over 2MB. At such a lightweight download size, it will take very little time to get AWinstall off the web and onto your computer. I don’t know about you, but I always like it when I don’t have to wait a long time for a download to complete.

Speaking of things that take little time to complete, installing AWinstall on a Windows-powered computer takes little time as well. And speaking of installing applications on top of Windows, it must be mentioned that AWinstall provides support for just about any version of the Microsoft-developed operating system.

Once AWinstall is up and ready for use, it will offer the following functionality:
- Create .NET and Win32-based setup
- A user-friendly wizard-style interface.
- Top quality icons and customizable graphics.
