Making an installer for your screensaver

When deploying your screensaver to other computers, the best method is to create an installer. To do this, on Step 4 - Ready to Create select Create an Installer for the Screensaver. Then, click on Options to be presented with the following window:

Any Logo Screensaver Creator uses the de facto standard Inno Setup for the installer.

Installer Options screen

Include an uninstaller

This allows the end user to uninstall your screensaver, the same way most other software is uninstalled.

Install in System32 folder

This option makes the installer try to install to the user's system folder. While this is the proper location to install screensavers, please be aware that some users may not have enough access to write files there. If this option is not selected, then the installer will create a folder in the user's Program Files location.

Add to Start Menu

Check this option to add a submenu to the user's start menu.

Link to your website

You can also add a link to the website, specified in Step 3 - More Options.

Active Screensaver

Set this option to make the installer automatically set the screensaver as the active one.

Logon Screensaver

This option instructs the installer to set your screensaver as the login screensaver. This is the screensaver that is displayed at the login screen, when Windows asks for your username and password.
