Add-ons for InstallMate 9

David Adams - 2019-09-09 13:49

These add-ons install additional libraries for InstallMate 9. The libraries can be added to your project by using project items; see Using project items for details.

• The add-ons require InstallMate 9 on your system and will not install on earlier versions.
• You only need these libraries if you are creating an installer for a product that relies on these libraries. They are not required for normal operation of InstallMate.
• We recommend that you download and install only the add-ons that you need, to avoid confusion between the different versions of each library that are available.
• Use these add-ons in preference to the Microsoft MSI-based merge modules, which add a lot of unnecessary clutter to your project and also tend to be up to twice as large.

How to use

1. Download the add-on(s) of your choice. Make sure that you get the correct version and processor type.
2. After downloading the add-ons, run them. This installs the required redistributables for use by InstallMate 9.
3. Open your InstallMate project.
4. Use the File > Import > Project Items... command to insert the required libraries into your InstallMate project.
