Yes, the entire works .

To sum it up : Everything you can do in PasCal !
Like I said before .
You can even make it play background music while installing if you want it to .

And make custom pages , change every message and text , graphic , you name it .
It can do everything you want with the registry .
Register Dll's , shared files .
It has a decent uninstaller too .
It can make shortcuts and change every aspect of them .
Like if you tried a CLW 2.1.3 installer released after 28/1/02 , you might have noticed that the intenet links launch maximized .

You can do everything the big and expensive installers can do .
And If you know a little PasCal , you're hooked .
Then the features are literally unlimited .

Just try it , It won't hurt to try .
It's free and more important there is no spyware or such involved bundled .
See , this installer isn't made by some big company like InstallShield but it's made by a single person .

Also , the program loads very fast .
How much time does installShield take to start up and get to work ?
2 mins ?
This thing loads up in less then 2 seconds .

An important thing ; It supports BZip2 and regular zip compression .
What this means , well CLW is crammed into 1.8MB for example .
That includes LW , CyDoor remover, help files , uninstaller , ...

There is also one little negative side on this installer .
Or a positive one since it forces you to learn the scripting language :
This program has no wizard !!
But the basic language is very easy to learn .

But here is the biggest thing I like about it :
<hr>
It does not need an temp dir to work .
It does not extract any files to an temp dir !
(Well exept for 1 dll file into the Windows temp folder wich wil be erased after installation)

This installer works on every Windows version ranging from NT 3.51 and Win 3.1 to Win XP

Is there an E-mail addres I can mail you ?
I'll zip up the script and files of CLW .
Then you can see for yourself .
