The programs have been developed by VB5 and runs on desktop machine but their
use is restricted to CE programmers (NSBasic as default) that need an easy way to
create installation packages to deliver their works to the user. (i have some reasons
to think IPWiz may works with others CE Languages also so in the program you will find the
possibility to change the program extention to use also others CE application that may need
an installer program ).
The most relevant problem of a programmer that uses NSBasic meets, as soon
as he is ready to distribute his application is to find or create an installer that
can do the job without to require the final user to install several programs to
enable the application running.
The reason of my experiments is that the procedure that you should use, and
you find in the www.nsbasic.com website uses a program that only works with
NT/Win2000/XP systems.
As i still use the old Win98 SE i was unable to do my programs' installer and so
the following application are the result of my researches.
ATTENTION : Programs has been successfully tested loading a program of
mine on a Mips device (AERO 1550 USA) and on an Arm device
(HP Jornada 565 Italian) and HP H2210 with their relative O.S.
The code appears to work fine but you can still find some bugs
so consider this as a BETA versions.
Obviously any your feedback will be appreciated(Click HERE to see details) This program does its works fine and the Version 2 allows to
install also the NSBasic Runtime with a mouse's click only. The problem is that to do this you need the MS eVB Tool
already installed on your desk computer.
If you use both language (NSBasic -eVB) you can solve the
problem with IPWiz 2. Your final user must only to click a
button more on his device to complete installation but he will
get the program easily installed and its shortcut also in the
Programs' window.
You can see which is the idea base of the IPWiz2 procedure HERE .
The instructions are also available as Mhtml file into the downloaded program's file

The program INFactory Single Cab has bee discontinued
To use IPWiz 2 was totally free, but it could not be a good
reason for a programmer that use NSBasic only to accept
its so heavy resources' request. So i began to think how to
solve the problem otherwise.
INFactory is the result.
This program creates the installer with the correct procedure
(I.E. Inf Language and CAB file) so the installation process is
fully standard. Your user will note that you use NSBasic only
if he looks to the application's file extention or its icon.
And..... in this case also the program is Free.
The instructions are also available as HELP file to call from the downloaded file
And NEW
This are the last version of the project INFactory.
It offers more flexibility allowing user to add to the intaller's packege not
only nsb and dll files but also any other kind of file as bmp, wav, htp, txt etc.
There is also a simple Reg. Keys editor and a direct interface to use the
ezsetup program to get compressed exe installers.
You do not need to know anything about Inf sintax or other but only to know
how your program have to be installed in the device (obviuosly you know
this if you developed the program to install)
The simple beaviour of the previous version is still available using WIZARD
The program is still a BETA
GENERAL NOTEThe Directory and SubDir that the selfextracting .zip files will create on your HD are
for both the programs are intended to let the program authomatically handle all the
runtime files and/or others libraries so the first thing to do to work with the program
is to add the requested files to this folders.
