GlassWorks: Build Professional Installers with Ease

A proper way to deliver a product is to wrap it up in a good-looking package so the end user knows what it’s about, and also make a proper first impression. For software products and video games, the package is the installer, and you can easily build one with applications like GlassWorks.

Key Features:

• Easily build professional installers


• Customize installer appearance and functionality


• Add files and folders efficiently


• Configure file associations and parameters


• Save and load projects for later

Technical Specifications:

• Price: Free


• Publisher: HalogenWare


• File Type: .exe

The main window in GlassWorks allows you to do all the work, with options spanning over different tabs like main, appearance, license, files and directories, integration, and customization to properly build the installer.

General details such as name, version, author, contact details, and more can be added in the initial pane. You can even save your project for later use.

However, the appearance section might cause some head-scratching as the preview area lacks details. Adding files and folders, split into installation groups, can also be a bit cumbersome.

Despite its good intentions, GlassWorks may fall short in delivering the building process and options expected. Creating a visual design without a proper preview can be frustrating.
