What's this thing about
First, you need an Amiga Computer for this tool. Furthermore, the Amiga must run at least version 2.1+ of the operating system.
Every Amiga user knows the Installer tool, distributed with the system. Well, the idea is nice, but the Installer became a pretty old thing during the last years. Thus, in 1997 I decided to rewrite the entire tool and the result is the InstallerNG, which you can get here. Below, please find a few of the things which are enhanced (compared to the old Installer) and which are completely new:

• the compiler itself is stronger and, thus, much safer
• resizeable and modern GUI; if you like, plugin the MUI interface
• mc68060 and PPC recognation and support
• many new functions (see the documentation)
• interpreter options (e.g. debug, create uninstall scripts, etc...)
• optional compiler modules
• many, many more ...

And of course, it is fully compatible to the old Installer (provided, the scripts are ok)!

Online documentation
You may choose between two documentations:

• for every user: User documentation
