What program possibly is the creator of the MxNitro browser installer?
How can I make a simple installer like that?
MxNitro Installer is a custom installer made by Maxthon, based on NSIS.
Its source contains the path: d:\mxdev\mt\trunk\deploy\builder\MTInstall_NSIS\install_data\Install.pdb
You can make a very simple installer using InstallSimple too.

I have an old InstallShield installer which i believe was made using InstallShield 2012. I don't have the install script code for the same. I only have exe of the installer with me.
I need to create a new installer containing some of the same features from old installer, so is there any way by which i can get the setup.rul file of the installer from its exe?
I did some googling but got no help.
Setup.exe Extraction: If you run an extraction of your setup.exe, do you get an *.ins file?
Programmatically extract contents of InstallShield setup.exe
Extract MSI from EXE
Decompiler: I believe there are some hacky solutions to decompile *.ins to *.rul. I do not have such a tool, nor have I ever tried one and I can't recall seeing any trace of them for a whole decade. Perhaps Installshield support can help?
Alternatives: Off the top of my head: Contact Installshield support, they might have better advice? Check with Installshield community? Check with Stefan Kruger - Installshield consultant? Check any source repositories you can find based on setup.exe timestamp? (search for *.rul, *.ism, or similar as relevant). Check backups? Check backups of setup developer PC? Check github.com even? (for samples of similar tasks). Check external media, email attachments, network shares, etc...
I am creating a Linux installer (currently looking at the Qt Installer Framework) and I need to add shortcuts to the start / applications menu.
I have read about and experimented with .desktop files but that just puts the shortcut in the general applications section... How can I create a Vendor/Product/Application structure in the menu?
We are trying to move away from InstallJammer which does this, but as far as I am aware we need to use a custom script in Qt Installer Framework.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks,
Alan
I have read the first few sections of "http://installbuilder.bitrock.com/docs/installbuilder-userguide/index.html" may be 3 to 4 times, but it is quite unclear to me.
I have a project/product that needs to be installed/unistalled/upgraded on user machines, so I guess I can make use of BitRock installer to accomplish the same. Having said that, below are my details:
Target system: Linux (can be 32 bit or 64 bit)
Project Developed using : Qt and C++ etc
For simplicity, if I call the name of the project directory as "Hello world" and my .pro file as "Hello world.pro" and my executable as "Hello world", how can I generate a package depending on the target system (debian or rpm based). As I said, I read the user guide but totally confused about how to integrate BitRock with my development system to generate installer, uninstaller or upgrade binaries.
All I did was download the bitrock installer for QT based Linux, changed the permission of the binary, executed it and chose the default options. Please help me with a simple example.
Btw, the most basic question is that, for me a double click on the installer "installbuilder-qt-8.6.0-linux-installer.run" does not work. No GUI comes up. I prefer to create my installer using the GUI, rather than manually writing XML files
Thanks
This may not be the answer to your question, but the what you are trying is not the standard way of deployment on Linux, instead of using .run file (hardly used) it is better to create debian and rpm packages which can be installed with a single click.
Since you are using Qt you can also try Qt installer framework, which helps you create cross-platform Window Style installers.

I have a big Installshield 2010 Basic MSI project that creates an executable installer.
I would like to make this Installer run silently, but the supposed built-in /S and /SMS options don't appear to work. I figure I have to explicitly handle it within the .ISM itself, but don't know how, and so far my Googling has only returned help with things like SilentReadData() and SilentWriteData for InstallShield Scripts. (See http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield15langref/LangrefSilentReadData.htm) I don't think this is the right way to go, as I have no scripting currently in my .ISM file.
What other information do you need to know to help me?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Running on Windows 7, creating an installer for a 32-bit executable targeting X86.
If you're using an InstallScript UI (common to the InstallScript and InstallScript MSI project types), any custom dialogs need to have SilentReadData and SilentWriteData calls (conditioned on MODE) like you found. However if you have no script at all, you are probably using a Basic MSI project instead. For these, you need a different command-line parameter to make it silent, such as /v"/qb" or /v"/qn"; you may also need to provide some property definitions for any non-default settings, in the format /v"/qb PROPERTY=\"Value\"".
If you have experience with QtSDK in Linux, You must see an GUI installer in Linux. I like to create an installer like this, but I can't find the code of installer to read code and create an installer like it.
Anyone knows about this kind of GUI installer on Linux?
