» Feature-rich and versatile: create tailored Self-Extracting distributions!

While beginners can use basic options to create ready-to-deliver packages in minutes without requiring any additional knowledge, advanced users may benefit from more great features. Explore the rich feature set of Paquet Builder that lets you build simple or sophisticated packages visually:

	Compress your files and software into compact .exe packages Choose between three efficient compression methods to create small distributions: 7-Zip (with LZMA support), Cabinet (with LZX) or standard Zip.  Learn more
	Customize the entire behavior and look of your packages from A to Z Create standard or Windows wizard-styled packages and change any detail of your package's design: user interface, custom dialogs, splash screens, billboards, .exe icon & version info... Show your own company information and advertisement. Learn more
	Have total control over the behavior and functionality of packages Add custom actions and configure them visually to do what you want: prompt users; detect system configuration; create shortcuts; read/write Windows registry keys and .ini files; modify file properties; work with variables; use If/Then conditionals or goto statements; display additional dialogs like readme, license agreement, info panel, wait messages, message boxes; execute an unlimited number program or document files; copy and manage files. Include uninstallers to remove changes performed by your packages. Organize your files into components, set destination paths, ask end users for which components to install, add conditions to file extraction. Package up multimedia presentations, several MSI or INF-based setups and even traditional setup programs into compact executable files. Learn more
	Protect your distributions and ensure integrity of their contents Increase the security of your files thanks to password protections, integrity (CRC32) and size checks; digitally sign your packages (code signing) to ensure authenticity. Learn more
	Create multilanguage distributions Make multi-language packages for international distribution. Several languages are already available and localization of packages into other languages is easy. Learn more
	Easily design your packages with Paquet Builder No scripting is required, everything is done visually; the interface is logically organized, stepping you through the natural stages of the creation process. You can also automate Paquet Builder to customize and create packages silently (command-line builds, directives). Learn more

All of these features remain optional, i.e. you do not need to configure them in order to build your packages. Creating a simple package actually takes less than one minute: start a new project, add files and press Build, that's all. Then you can always modify the other options if you want later.

» What is a Self-Extracting distribution?

A Self-Extracting distribution is a single stand-alone executable program (package) that contains compressed files and allows them to be extracted without requiring any other utility: they contain the code required to unpack these files. You just need to run them in order to get your files again.
