Hi,

I got tired of the bad experience with Windows Installation software so decided to make my own. It is built off of NSIS and I'm not going to hide that fact. I just did an early release launch so features are getting updated relatively quickly.

I would love to hear what you all think of the product as well as the marketing site.

Thanks!

Part of commercial sales is simply educating potential customers. Given the target audience for the project, there is a lack of technical detail relevant to developers.

Being based of NSIS, I'd go further and say that there ought to be an honest use case analysis so that developers know when it is better to use NSIS instead of Breakneck. People using your product unsuccessfully is likely to be worse over the long run than not using it at all.

Tell people what the tradeoffs are so that they can determine if Breakneck is right for them.

Good luck.

Thanks for your response. I'll make updates today.
