Can create an installation with or without a setup screen

When you create installations with SamLogic Visual Installer 2010 you can choose between creating an installation with a graphical setup screen in the background or an installation that only shows dialog boxes.

The graphical setup screen can cover the whole screen or just a part of the screen with a height and width that you specify. On a graphical setup screen you can place a title, pictures, text boxes, a process gauge etc. Creating an installation that only shows dialog boxes, as in a wizard, is a standardized way to present user interfaces for setup programs today and you are free to choose the visual style that you want.

Below we show some examples of installations created with Visual Installer that uses and not uses a graphical setup screen in the background.
