Obsolete

Development of SIBuilder is frozen.

I developed this program to create simple, command line based installers for my programs, but my needs have changed and the program hasn't kept up. To update it would be (a) a lot of work and (b) pointless because the superb Inno Setup does it all so well.

I strongly discourage anyone from continuing to develop this program – it's had its day. I don't even know if it runs on modern versions of Windows. Having said that if you want to look at the code you can download a copy of the final version below.

There is no support available for this program. Please do not report any bugs or contact me about it.

Overview

SIBuilder (Small Installation program Builder) is an open source software installation program creator that creates stand alone command line based install programs.
