We’ve released our installer program as a freeware with source code:
http://www.trichview.com/ideinstall/
It was updated to version 2.3.
This utility can be used by Delphi component developers to install their packages in Delphi and C++Builder IDE (from Delphi 5 and C++Builder 6 to RAD Studio 11 Alexandria). Both source code packages and trial packages are supported.
It makes some assumptions about package names and directory structure (the installer includes a help file describing them in detail). We have a utility that can generate Delphi and C++Builder packages for any components, VCL and FMX. This utility is for internal use, but if you provide a list of units, dcr files and required packages, I can generate packages for all version of Delphi and C++Builder for your components, for free.
Changes:
- support for Android platforms in FireMonkey packages
- updated user interface
- ability to use relative path to components in installer script, and ability to add a system environment variable to write shorter paths to Delphi and C++Builder librar (these features are especially useful if the installer is not called from a larger setup application)
