Other Features in InstallerMaker 4.5 "Preserve Success/Fail Status," and the "Execute When" features let users know when and if their installation succeeded. Preserve Success/Fail Status allows developers to preserve the flag indicating whether the last Task and/or Find failed when executing tasks. Execute When is a new feature that allows Tasks to be set to execute under three conditions: Always, If last Task/Find succeeded, or If last Task/Find failed. "Edit Installer Finder Info" allows developers to set the Shared and File Locked flags for the installer, and /or the minimum and preferred memory allocation. This feature makes it easier to retain the custom settings for the installer. InstallerMaker 4.5 features time saving enhancements including: the capability to use ShrinkWrap(tm) 3.0 for creating disk images as part of the build process, a software license display mode during installation, an update architecture that creates software updaters quickly, support for building foreign language installers, Internet TCP/IP configuration for ISPs, the ability to display banners and play sounds during the installation process, as well as valuable user interface enhancements.

They are also given the opportunity to purchase the product from within the application. The purchase may be made in real time via the Internet, modem connection, a toll-free phone call (800 or 888 numbers), by fax, or postal mail.
