Introduction to Tarma QuickInstall

Tarma QuickInstall 2 is a software installer and uninstaller for Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98, Me, NT® 4, 2000 and XP applications. Its design goals are to provide Windows-compliant installation and removal functionality with a small distribution size, a straightforward and simple user interface, and smart install and (particularly) uninstall behavior.

The TIN Setup program requires no external support files apart from the standard Windows system files. Its flexibility and small size (50-65 KB, depending on the options chosen) ensure that it loads very quickly and is suitable in many situations, including setup packages intended for downloading over the Internet and diskette-based distributions.

The TIN Builder development environment offers a task-oriented approach to designing setup packages and supports this with smart defaults, a convenient and familiar user interface, extensive preflight checking, and single-keystroke project builds.

Tarma QuickInstall provides everything to give your customers a quick, friendly, and hassle-free installation experience.
