InstallForge was initiated back in 2006 with the goal to create a solid, lightweight and easy-to-use installation builder running on the Windows® platform. During the whole development I have always had the design philosophy of a non-script-based installation builder in mind enabling users to create their setup packages with least efforts. Compared to other freely available setup creators this philosophy has always emphasized InstallForge’s power and led to a rapid success among users after its first release in 2007. Today InstallForge can be considered to be one of the most popular setup creators and is being used by more than 20,000 developers as well as companies from different sectors worldwide.
