In order to create your branded products and your application installer, you will need the SetupWizard application. Please note, that this is not a trivial process, requiring knowledge of XML and image files, and some designing capabilities. You will need the following tools:
• | Demo Products.zip (downloaded by SetupWizard) with sample products and branding files |
• | HTML and XML editor (Microsoft XML Notepad 2007, downloaded by SetupWizard) |
• | Image editor to edit product/fold/placeholder images |
• | A skin designer, if you want to edit the skin, otherwise use one of the provided skins (Silver.vsf), or turn off skinning in the SetupWizard (advised for >= Vista) |
• | An installation of the 3P Desktop Publisher, which can be started with the commandline parameter CCPublisher.exe /design in design mode, in order to edit the layout and template files for each product. You can download an english version without products here (24 MB):
http://www.1stein.de/publisher/pixpedia-en/branding/publisher_setup.exe
(Change EN to DE to download a German version with products and ordering ability.) |
Alternatively, you can also let the SetupWizard build a Demo Publisher for you. To build a Demo Installer, extract CCSetupWiz.zip, run CCSetupWiz.exe and follow these steps:
• | Press "Next" and then "Validate"
The SetupWizard will now download some update and demo files, like the demo Products.zip |
• | If asked to update the SetupWizard, you can ignore that for now |
• | If asked to install the InnoSetup application, please do so |
• | If you get a “FileSync error” or Exception, restart the SetupWizard |
• | If you get "Icon cannot be injected", delete all downloaded files and start over |
• | When you arrive at "Validation successful", press "Next" and then "Generate" |
InnoSetup will now generate a Demo Installer for you, which you can run and test. You can use this installation for the Design-Mode!
