Open Source C Installers

NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a professional open source system to create Windows installers. It is designed to be as small and flexible as possible and is therefore very suitable for internet distribution. Being a user's first experience with your product, a stable and reliable installer is an important component of succesful software. With NSIS you can create such installers that are capable of doing everything that is needed to setup your software. NSIS is script-based and allows you to create the logic to handle even the most complex installation tasks. Many plug-ins and scripts are already available: you can create web installers, communicate with Windows and other software components, install or update shared components and more.

Configurable tool which allows Java applications to be installed and controlled like native NT or Unix services. Includes fault correction software to automatically restart crashed or frozen JVMs. Critical when app is needed 24x7. Built for flexibility.

vmdkutil is a utility to manage VMware sparse virtual disk files (.vmdk), creating, cloning, merging, etc.

InstallJammer is a multiplatform GUI installer and builder. InstallJammer is no longer under active development.

The Indian Linux Project Goal is to build a Indian language enabled Linux distro & applications with support for Indian Languages

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

Armadeus is an OpenSource Hardware and Software project based on an ARM core (Freescale i.MX) and Linux. You can consult our wiki at http://www.armadeus.org to join our non profit association or our commercial website at http://www.armadeus.com .

The Wizard's Apprentice is an application that allows you to ask questions from a script. It uses Windows dialog boxes in the so-called Wizard style: dialogs asking one question at a time, with a Back button, a Next button and a Cancel button.

OpenSETUP is an installation routine which looks like install shield. But it's free. It has many options like encryption, gradient colors, dialogs, file lists, OCX/DLL registration, different languages, full graphic interface, anti crackin routine...

TinyTcl is a tiny version of Tcl, for small footprint machines and embeddable/rommable applications. It is derived from Tcl 6.7 and compiles to less than 60K, 10X smaller than Tcl 7 and Tcl 8.

gRpmBuilder is a POWERFUL yet easy-to-use graphical program that will create rpm files and srpm files with a simple interface.

This program, by default, will help you updating Linux easily (actually only Debian). Also it has help for configure the updates. It can be used for install your program who has dependences automatically. It's thought for help new Linux users.

The OTA library enables you to manage the notification of a newly available update, download the update, and perform cryptographic verification of the firmware update. Using the library, you can logically separate firmware updates from the application running on your devices. The OTA library can share a network connection with the application, saving memory in resource-constrained devices. In addition, the OTA library lets you define application-specific logic for testing, committing, or rolling back a firmware update. The library supports different application protocols like Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and provides various configuration options you can fine-tune depending on network type and conditions. This library is distributed under the MIT Open Source License. This library has gone through code quality checks including verification that no function has a GNU Complexity score over 8.

This is a library that helps software that uses Abase not spread all over the system. This helps to distribute software without installation and make it easy for a user to keep software organized. Then it can be used in "portableOS" flash drives.

Xinstaller is a program written in C for Linux. It will allow you to make an installer file for your programs. The user will have only to start the executable and to answer some easy questions(mostly "next" :)).

"Better Extension for RPM" is a buildroot installation tool compatible with YUM written in C. It is fast and system resources friendly. The main audience are users, developers or administrators of Red Hat/Fedora Core Linux operating systems.

The Build Installer provides a lightweight GUI installer application to go over an existing configure/make/install source package. Its purpose is to make installing software from source easier and faster for end users, particularly non-developers.

BTS is a Build Template System designed for building packages for th common packing systems in use by current distributions based on a single XML package description. We are finally restarting development after a long break due to NeOS work.

DOSConf is an installer to install, update, repair, remove and create installation and patch package. It will be developed for DOS / Win32 platforms and in the future for another operating systems, like Linux.

The goal of the Embedded Debian Project is to make Debian GNU/Linux a natural choice for embedded Linux.

"Embedded Kit" is a toolkit/distro for Opensource Embedded Platform Developers which is reconfigurable and the modules contained within usable individually.

The goal of this project is to provide a method to build a bootable image for small embedded systems, based on the original package sources, most notably buildroot, and to snapshot the distribution and configuration files for repeatable builds.

Due to Sourceforge's complying with US law to deny site access of 5 countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria), GUP for win32 in SF is no more active. Please check : http://gup-win32.tuxfamily.org for the project current information.

A graphical frontend using gnome/gtk for the standard flash-utility (vrflash) suplied with the Agenda VR3 from Agenda computing.

Installer Options is a small utility used to create option dialogs for use by NullSoft's NSIS installer application. NSIS is a very powerful install program, but lacks the ability to create dialog boxes to prompt the user for additional information. Please Note: This is an old project that was eventually integrated into NSIS distribution directly. The plug-in mechanism eventually changed, so this version of the code no longer works properly with NSIS. I have left the project online for archival purposes, but please use the bundled version instead.
