Creating an installer for one or more panoramas

You can use Pano2exe to create installers to distribute one or more self-executable panoramas made with Pano2exe. You can add .wav and other sound files files as well. The installer is a professional looking installation program that installs and creates shortcuts for your self-executable panorama files (or any other kind of files, if you have the registered version). It also includes an Uninstaller program.

The installations options are on the Installer tab, as the following figure shows.

Setup title: This title will be shown when the Installer runs.

Setup folder: This folder will be created under C:\Program Files directory. Write the folder name without adding the full path.

Example: to install the panoramas in C:\Program Files\Images of Summer, just write Images of Summer as folder name.
If you want to place the folder outside the C:\Program Files folder, write the full path: C:\Images of Summer (replace Images of Summer with the folder name you want to use).

Of course, the user can change the default folder and install the files on any other place.

File list: Use the Add file/s button to add executable panoramas and sounds to the file list. You can clear any selected file with the Clear file button or clear the whole list with Clear list button. All files included in the list will be added to the installer.

The TRIAL version of Pano2exe only can include sounds and executable panorama files in the installations. To include any other kind of files you should purchase the full version of Pano2exe.

Language: The Installer can use several different languages:

Create and run: If this option is selected, the Installer will automatically run after being created, so you can test it.

Start menu folder: Write here the name of the folder that the installer will create under the Windows Start / Programs button.

The installer will create a shortcut to each executable file included in the installation, into the Start menu folder.
The file name (excluding the .exe file extension) of each executable program will be used as the shorcut title.

To add shorcuts to HTML pages included in the installation, save the pages with .html file extension. If an HTML page has a .htm file extension it will not have a shortcut.

Saving the installation program

After specifying all the installation files and setting the installation options, you can save the installer by clicking on the button or the Make an Installer command on the File menu.
