About the application:
The installation of BeOS software and related documents is accomplished by two applications:  EasyInstallCreator and EasyInstall. EasyInstallCreator is the application that selects the folder of items to install, and defines a set of rules on how the developer wishes the software to be installed with EasyInstall. The developers has control on the destination folders ( standard, semi-standard, and custom ), presentation of  license file, standard, minimum, and custom installation, minimum system resources, ability to configure user script files, automatic start-up of applications at boot time, dependent shared libraries and applications, and much, much more.

Developers have complete control of all installation parameters. EasyInstallCreator eliminates the need for coding or writing scripts.

Software can be deinstalled by using EasyDeinstall. This application is configured when the customer installs your software.

Thank you, and enjoy the application.
