Full Windows install
Setup Installer
The full experience: wizard dialogs, registry entries, shortcuts, uninstaller, Program Files. When your users expect a proper Windows installer, this is it.
Design Packages
One project. Every format you need.
Setup installer, self-extracting archive, or a flexible branded bundle: Paquet Builder is the mix that does everything. One .pbpx project, every distribution format, x86 / x64 / ARM64.
Feature Tour11 / 12
Design Packages
Three formats.
One project file.
Switch between output types without recreating anything. The project knows your files, components, and branding, and re-uses them across every format you build.
Portable & self-extracting
SFX Archive
A standalone .exe that drops files wherever the user picks. No install, no registry, no uninstaller. Perfect for portable apps, SDK bundles, and one-off distributions.
The mix that does everything
Package
Paquet Builder's signature format: a flexible bundle that scales from a branded file extractor to a full installer. Pick exactly the features you need, nothing you don't.
Configure each format independently.
Every output type has its own settings (dialogs, extraction paths, branding, compression). Flip between them without starting over, or build every format at once with a single build command.
- One project, every format
- Switch output type with a dropdown. Your files, components, variables, and branding stay put, with no recreation and no parallel projects.
- Per-format settings
- Each format keeps its own dialogs, extraction paths, compression profile, and branding, tuned independently and built from the same source.
- Every Windows, every arch
- Targets Windows XP through Windows 11 (x86, x64, and ARM64) from a single project. Enterprise rollouts and legacy support both covered.
Start a new project, pick your format, and everything else follows from the same source files.
Typical LZMA2 + solid result
75% smaller Uncompressed bundle 48.0 MB
LZMA2, solid archive 12.0 MB
Example: a 48 MB .NET application bundle compressed with LZMA2 and solid archive mode. Your ratio will vary with file type; text and source files compress hardest, already-compressed media the least.
Smaller packages.
Faster downloads, fewer bytes.
LZMA2, solid archive mode, and multi-threaded compression squeeze every byte out of your distribution. Tune the balance between build time and final size, globally or per file.
- Multiple algorithms: LZMA2, LZMA, Deflate, and store-only for pre-compressed files
- Configurable compression levels, per-file or global
- Multi-threaded encoding on modern CPUs for faster builds, same ratio
Solid compression: the quiet superpower
Groups similar files together and compresses them as a single block. On repositories full of small text or source files, it shaves another 20–50% off what file-by-file compression would produce.
