Installer for Y'z Toolbar

[itsnotabigtruck]

I made a little installer for Y'z Toolbar. It also includes OldeCrow's great Aero theme.

Get it now! (1.03 MB)

This is legal, see here.

why does it need an installer?

[itsnotabigtruck]

Makes it a little easier. It has an option to start itself when you start your computer, which the regular ZIP file does not. It also includes OldeCrow's Aero theme.

I suppose thats cool. I guess I just always admired programs without installers because you know exactly what is going on with your system.

Do you have permission from Mr. Yamguchi to modify his software and distribute it? I think not. So best bet would be to remove that link.

Y's Dock is not Y's Toolbar. They are two totally different programs. Nice try tho :D

What's the difference? What's the toolbar then?

[PKHelloNasty]

The toolbar replaces explorer icons.. makes it look a little cooler.

I don't have explicit permission, but I'd think it's OK making a little installer and sticking it here, besides it's good for him since people can install his app more easily.

Your re-distributing his software, aswell as editing it. I think you need to ask permission.

I'm not editing it. I added one theme to the themes folder. I did not edit any file (the DLL, the EXE, the two .LANG files, or anything).

It's no different than say AutoPatcher or something like that, right?

AutoPatcher is a (great) program that installs zillions of Windows patches as well as a bunch of registry tweaks, PowerToys, and more. This is a setup program for Y'z Toolbar and only Y'z Toolbar.

Lol, no. I was using it as a comparison of redistributing...

Oh, yeah. :) See my above post about the copyright paragraph in the readme.

actually even freeware is copyrighted but the license agreement clearly says its redistributable :D

[itsnotabigtruck]

Just wondering, how many people are using my installer? :)

Don't be stupid. The Y'z Toolbar program itself is considered intellectual property of the creator. :rolleyes:

@memodude: I'm using your installer. :)

Yep. Actually, everything you create inherently is "copyright"ed (unless you make it public domain). Registering a copyright just lets you sue people about it. Also, if someone infringes on your registered copyright, you still have to pay for your lawyer and all.

@memodude: I'm using your installer. :)

Nice. :)

Comments in bold. :D

Thanks for the installer..that's really helpful

I can't really see a use for it to be honest. I just unzip, bang it in a directory and shortcut to startup. It's not exactly a big program is it.

Using an installer would feel a bit like using an Uzi to swat a fly. (Not that it wouldn't be fun to try for a day!)
