LANSRAD is proud to announce the release of SetupCast, a Clarion built
product.

SetupCast is a revolutionary new software publishing system for software
developers.

Note: SetupCast is not a tool to create installers (like SetupBuilder), it
is the next logical step in releasing your software, keeping your website
updated and your customers informed.


With just one click you can...

* Generate and publish detailed information to your website about your
software release

* Create a zip version of your installer

* Upload and link to multiple installers

* Publish a RSS feed to notify your customers of a new release or update


For a limited time only SetupCast is available for $79.95 while we expand
our documentation and add tutorials and videos to our website.

You can download a 30 day demo version, view live examples of SetupCast at
work (we eat our own dog food) or read the help files online at
http://www.setupcast.com




A Summary of SetupCast Features


** One Click Publishing

SetupCast makes it easy for any developer to release a new version of
software without having to worry about remembering all the details.

With one-click publishing you can upload all of the files related to your
software release in a single FTP session. This includes installer files
for Full Install downloads, Web Installations, Web Updaters, RSS feeds and
the generated HTML/XML files needed to update your website.

Each file is uploaded exactly where it belongs on your website and logged
to a report.



** Automatic Content Generation

SetupCast automatically gathers information about your software release and
generates the content needed to update your website.

This includes items such as Version Information, Release Date, File
Download Sizes and any Release Notes you want to add. Accurate hyperlinks
for each download are also generated.

This information is merged with simple templates which you control. Then
files are generated from the content and uploaded to update your website.



** Multiple Distribution Sets

Many developers release their software with more than one distribution
method. This includes Full installer downloads, Web Based Installations
and Web Updaters. SetupCast lets you add support for different types of
installers at the click of a mouse.

Information for each installer type is gathered on an individual basis.
You can also synchronize shared information such as Release Version,
Release Date and Release Notes.

The data gathered can be merged into both individual and common HTML
documents .



** SetupBuilder Enhancements

SetupCast has built-in automation for installers created by SetupBuilder
from Lindersoft. This feature lets you can create a new SetupCast project
for your SetupBuilder installer in seconds!

SetupCast also includes a Enhanced Web Update Client for SetupBuilder.
This makes it possible to provide information such as file download sizes
or release notes to your clients during the check for update process.

Your clients will love SetupCast because it gives them information about
your update BEFORE they download it! You will love SetupCast because it is
easy to use and it makes you look good!



** Synchronized RSS Feeds

Providing synchronized RSS feeds on your website gives your customers an
anonymous way to keep informed about new releases and updates to your
software.

It also solves potential problems with Firewalls or the fact that some
customers are just not comfortable about using an automated “Check for
Updates” feature.

SetupCast lets you add a valid RSS feed to your website with a click of
your mouse. Then your customers simply subscribe to the feed with their
web browser or feed reader.



** Fast Republishing

SetupCast makes it easy for you to correct errors or mistakes in your web
content without requiring a full republish of all the files in the project.

With just a few clicks you can make your corrections, select the sections
of content that need to be republished and upload your changes.

There is no need to wait for large installers or entire sets of
distribution files to upload. Also the published version of your release
does not update unless you change it.



** SetupCast System Requirements

Hardware Requirements

SetupCast has the following hardware requirements

* Pentium Class Processor (or better)
* 128 MB RAM
* 11 MB Drive Space


Operating System Requirements

SetupCast works with the following versions of Microsoft Windows

* Windows Vista 32/64
* Windows XP
* Windows 2000
* SetupBuilder Requirements (optional - see below)

SetupCast has enhancements that provide high levels of automation for
developers who build their installers with SetupBuilder from Lindersoft.

Using SetupBuilder is not a requirement for SetupCast, but it does provide
automation advantages not available without it.

To take full advantage of the SetupBuilder enhancements you need to have
SetupBuilder 6.7 or later.

If you have an earlier version of SetupBuilder you can still use SetupCast
in the non-SetupBuilder mode. The difference is that you will have to
manually setup and maintain your project information.



** SetupCast is a risk free purchase

SetupCast comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, so don't try it - Just
Buy It!
