Setup Installers

Every detail of your installer.
No scripting required.

Shortcuts, registry entries, file associations, environment variables, custom actions — configure it all from a visual IDE. Build packages for x86, x64, and ARM64 from a single project.

Shortcut and registry entry configuration in the Paquet Builder visual IDE

Everything your installer needs, in one place

No scattered config files or obscure command flags. Every setting lives in a visual editor you can see and understand.

Shortcuts

Desktop, Start Menu, Quick Launch, and taskbar pin shortcuts with full icon and argument control.

Registry

Create keys and values with full data-type support. Native ARM64 registry view on Windows on ARM.

File Associations

Register file types so double-clicking opens your app. Custom icons, verbs, and MIME types supported.

Environment Variables

Read and write environment variables via custom actions. Store and retrieve values during the install process.

Multi-Architecture

Target x86, x64, or ARM64 from one project. Architecture-specific files and registry paths handled automatically.

The power feature

60+ custom actions. Zero lines of script.

Go beyond file copying. Launch executables, call DLL functions, edit INI and XML files, display custom dialogs, and more — all configured visually. Chain actions with conditions and error handling for complete install logic.

Execute at any stage
Run actions before, during, or after installation — including on uninstall.
Conditional logic
Branch on OS version, registry values, file existence, or user input.
Error handling built in
Retry, skip, or abort on failure — with custom messages for the end user.

Component manager with tree view for organizing installer components

For complex software

Let users choose what to install

Define components with dependencies and mutual exclusions, then present a selection tree during setup. Ship optional plugins, documentation, or sample files without bloating the default install.

Typical Compact Custom

Drag-and-drop component tree

Reorder components visually. Set dependencies so required items are automatically selected.

Every setting. One visual editor.
