Paquet Builder is a mix Between a Self-Extracting Zip and Cab archives (SFX) generator, and an advanced Setup routines maker. It can create several types (standard or W2K-wizards like user interfaces) of Compact Self-Extractors for easy files and software delivery, featuring powerful and extra options in addition to the traditional ones available in other self-extractors makers:- Beginners can package their files into a single SFX archive using the Windows Explorer Context Menu, or create SFX directly from their existing CAB and ZIP archives. Use the standard features to build your packages in some clicks.- Advanced users may benefit from the extra features like: visual scri`pting (it works with "custom actions" that allow you to decide what your package has to do: display message boxes and readme texts; create shortcuts and folders; write to registry; set files' attributes; open documents, Web pages or launch external programs; ask end users for queries; support conditional expressions; work with variables; decide which files to Extract and where to place them.);
new:
New 7-Zip option: encrypt file names; thus you can prevent your users from reading the list of files inside a package using a hexadecimal editor for instance.
- Better detection to find out whether PBComp.exe (Paquet Builder Compression program) completed successfully or not.
- Fixed: when the user's Windows login name contained a period ("will.smith" for instance), PB did not create the correct temporary directory (packages for a Setup routine).
- Fixed the "76%" bug in Windows Vista for command-line & silent builds.
- Added support for Windows Vista icons (PNG-compressed icons); using such icons is not recommended because it will increase the size of your final package.
- PFX passwords are now hidden.
- Fixed %CURDATETIME%
- New button to automatically set the timestamp URL (digital certificates).
