X-ISTool

X-ISTool is a software utility that can be used to help individuals write installation scripts with great ease, as well as run and compile them.

Another important aspect is that you can copy the program files to any location on the computer, and run it with just a click on the EXE. If you move the last mentioned files to a removable storage device, such as a USB drive, you can run X-ISTool on any computer you can connect to.

The UI you are met with boasts a simple design which only consists of a menu bar, several shortcut buttons, a sections panel and another one to display details. It is accessible to both beginners and experienced individuals.

It supports import from ISS, LST, IWZ, REG and INI files, while export is possible only to ISS and REG formats.

You can input installer registry data needs, files and directories it requires to ass, as well as establish tasks, input several languages and create an uninstaller also. From the options panel, you can merge duplicate files, choose compression type (ZIP, LZMA or BZIP) and output directory, set up logging, enable or disable disk spacing and adjust privileges required. Moreover, you can directly connect to the compiler and run a test of the setup.
