“This is the best program for the job when it comes to windows installers. Keep up the good work!” James Smith

“Among all of the Windows installer tools our company tried, Actual Installer stood out as being the most straight-forward, compact, and absolutely the easiest application to use. After trying numerous other applications and subsequently drowning in poorly written instructions for kludged GUI, we had nearly decided to outsource our needs. But thankfully we tried just one more installation software. Actual Installer GD was everything we needed.” Don Sievert

I really like this tool, it did exactly what I needed, and it is intuitive to learn and use. I will recommend your tool to everyone I know who needs software installation.

If you are ready to go this way, you should definitely consider Actual Installer! Actual Installer is a powerful and highly flexible solution that covers every aspect of the installation process.
