A simple way to package your application with an uninstaller. Just create a batch file with whatever icon you want and let it execute this single command

 dauninst <application> 

the application will be uninstalled from your computer.

SIBuilder (Small Installation program Builder) is a freeware software installation program creator that creates a stand alone executable software installer with little overhead taken up by the installer. This makes the program an ideal development tool for creating a single, self-extracting (sfx) installation programs for distribution over the Internet. The installer is a Windows command line (or console) application. Key features of SIBuilder are that it:

• Has optional uninstaller that is registered with the Control Panel "Add/remove programs" applet.
• Installs files and folders -- can selectively overwrite existing files depending on age or version information.
• Updates registry with new keys and data
• Can be customize installations for different Windows operating systems.
• Can execute other programs -- which makes it simple to extend SIBuilder's functionality.
• Registers COM servers, shared DLLs and applications with Windows.
• Optionally displays a license agreement.
• Can automatically uninstall other installations before proceeding with the installation.
• Uses a wizard style interface to simplify creation of install projects.
• Provides a choice of compression algorithms used to compress the install program and has ability to have new compression systems plugged into program.

SIBuilder no longer requires a copy of Borland Delphi to compile the install programs - it now uses its own built in packaging technology to create them. However, the ability to use Delphi, where present, is still available as an option.

An on-line tutorial describing how to use SIBuilder is available on the program's home page. The tutorial walks through the creation of an installation project based on some files provided with SIBuilder.

• All distribution package is going in one exe-file. At its installation it is not required anything else.
• For packing data can use not only ZIP, but also the compression system of the well-known archiver RAR.
• Supports several languages in the created distribution packages. The installation script can depend on the chosen language.
• Checks the versions and dates of copied files.
• Can replace in-use (locked by system) files.
• Correctly works both in Windows 9x, and in Windows NT. The installation script can adjusts depending on a Windows platform.
• Can make changes in the registry.
• Can make changes in the ini-files.
• Can create groups and shortcuts in the "Main menu".
• Can register OLE/ActiveX servers.
• Can register fonts.
• Can execute external programs.
• Correctly installs/uninstalls shared files.
• Automatically determines a location of the various system directories ("Desktop", "Program Files", "Startup" etc.).
• Has tuning user interface (colors, fonts, bitmaps,...).
• Contains several predefined dialogs ("Welcome", "License agreement" etc.).
• It is possible to set, what dialogs to show, and also to define the order of their occurrence.
• During installation it automatically determines, whether is necessary reboot. If yes, after application's install it reboots the computer (if the user wants this, of course).
• The automatic removing of the installed application is possible (if the uninstall program is included to the distribution package).
• Setting password on the distribution package is possible.
• The size of the distribution package grows on 70-80 KB in comparison with simple archiving (on 100 KB, if uninstaller is included to the package).

• Fixed bugs
• Multilanguage support (you can translate all text in this program)
• Registry Edition
• Bitmap backgrounds
• One-file archives
• and more...

• Uninstall support
• Create your own add-in DLLs (with ability to get/set setup internals)
• Handling Shared Files
• Create built-in self extractor, so that, a further decrease in your setups
• It can use variables, strings stored in registry, ini files and also system folders.
• Ask user to enter directory, program group, or ask something as free input
• Create shortcuts anywhere, even to recent files
• Create/modify Registry entries (String and DWORD)
• Create/modify INI entries (String)
• Copy, Delete, Execute files
• OCX/EXE/DLL/TLB registration
• Conditional prosess (IF/ELSE) and jump with GOTO
• Execute any command line with wait option
• Custom messages/Question dialogs
• A script editor with syntax highlight and a wizard(?) is included
• Complete script interpreter (needs no external files) 'Setup.exe' is only 49 KB that can also be used as SFX header by (in the MS-DOS prompt):
  COPY /b setup.exe+myZipFile.zip Output.exe
• Turkish version is available

The programs supplied in this archive are versions of Stefan Reuther's bdiff and bpatch compiled from Pascal translations of the original C source.

BDiff is used to output information about the differences between two files, with the option to output binary information. BPatch can apply the binary patches created by BDiff.

Notes about the programs, descriptions of the algorithms and notes on the Pascal translation are included in the download and are also available on the program's home page (link below).

The download includes borth the original C code and the Pascal translation. Note: Any further distribution of the code must include both, along with any updates.
