Now available for free download from TweakFS is the TweakFS Open Installer. This two part application includes an installer and creator that allows add-on developers to create automated installers for their projects. For details, click on Read More.
The TweakFS Open Installer is designed to run and create open, Zip-based installations for FS2004 which allow the end-user to view the contents of the package and decide which files are overwritten. Many discerning simulator pilots are understandably wary of automatic setup routines as some can overwrite important files if they are not well implemented. Installations created with the TweakFS Open Installer are totally transparent and customizable; users can even add or remove files from the installation if they wish.
The Open Installer is a two-part application which includes the installer and the creator. The creator side of the utility can save your work as a Project file which can be loaded again and tweaked. It can be used by developers and casual add-on creators who normally release their creations as Zip files but who want to automate the process. Simmers in general can also use it to compile a personal collection of add-ons which can make re-installation a breeze.
Because it is freeware and has a relatively small file size (about 850 KB when compressed) it can be freely distributed to help take some of the guesswork out of installing add-ons for those not accustomed to doing things manually.
