Notice

Current situation

QuickInstaller is currently developed and maintained by myself.

QuickInstaller has been publicly available for a couple of year but I never told anyone except my family and a few friends about it so it didn't have many users.

After registering QuickInstaller on https://alternativeto.net/software/quickinstaller/ the user load exploded, 1000 new users in 2 weeks. This is of course great, but is more than I thought it would be.

I have a new job, two small kids, just got married and a pain-in-the-... house, so I don't have too much spare time.

Therefore I cannot say how long it will take for replies, processing of submitted applications and further development.

At the moment the whole system is hosted on a Intel NUC i5 at my home with 50 Mbit upload speed.

It's not long until users will get time out- or service unavailable errors.

Another big issue is that QuickInstaller doesn't have a so called Code Signing certificate.

This causes antivirus programs to report it as malicious and prevents users to use QuickInstaller. I've received several emails regarding this issue and many uninstall QuickInstaller.
It also cause Microsoft Smartcreen filter to block the application.

Costs

Windows Server and SQL database (Approx 1000$ pr year initially but will be more when we get more users - Need donations)

EV Code signing certificate. (Approx 300$ pr year - Need donations)

Donations

Without donations QuickInstaller cannot survive.

I could of course charge money for QuickInstaller by creating subscriptions for some features as all the similar solutions do.

But that is not what my vision for QuickInstaller, and profit is not it. My vision for QuickInstaller is to be 'By users, for users'.

Donation: If you want find QuickInstaller useful and want to support, please consider making a donation to help out.

DISCLAIMER
Software available on this website are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind,
and by downloading you agree to the terms of this Disclaimer.

NOTE:

Since this is a free and private project I've not been able to afford a Code Signing certificate

This will cause some antivirus programs to report QuickInstaller as malicious. I can promise you it is not malicious at all.

Another issue this cause is Microsoft's SmartScreen, please see this page if you have any problems.

I've sent a ticket to Microsoft SmartScreen and hopefully they will allow it but I'm not sure since it doesn't have a certificate.

QuickInstaller never stores any software packages on it's server. All software packages must be available from the software provider.

Hopefully people will find it useful and I will get enough donations to purchase a Code Signing certificate 😉

Troubleshooting

Application startup

The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

You can get this error when launching QuickInstaller on Windows 7 - 8.1.

How to fix this error

The missing dll api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is installed with a Windows update. To resolve this issue, download and install the Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows from Microsoft.
