Add easily an installer, update checker and license terms to your AHK project

When you want to publish an application written in AutoHotKey, you may want to have an installer and an update checker. This Base Frame has both of them! 😄

####Features:

• Installer
• Add the files and scripts that will be packed into the installer
• The intallers installs the application in a subfolder
• It is able to make a new install or update the application
• Update Checker
• Checks the online available version on every start of the application
• If a new version is available and the user wishes, downloads the intstaller and startst the update process
• License terms
• Automatically adds license terms
• User needs to accept them on install

It's easy to use. After having set everything the first time all settings will be saved. Compiling and publishing a new version will take only about 1 minute!

It's available in English and German. Other translations can be made easily. I am using it for AutoHotFlow and PABI Vokabeltrainer.

I think this base frame is very useful and may become better if following features will be included:

• Install in program files
• Provide an uninstaller
• Allow to choose the installation language by user But those features are very hard to implement. I can't afford it. So it would be fine if you will help me to continue this project.

Alibaba already implemented many functions. I have translated the code into english now to allow you to become a contributor.
