Setup kit

The LogicLab Setup-Kit allows the customer to create and distribute a custom version of the LogicLab IDE, additional components and catalog.

With your first release of LogicLab, you receive, available on your customer page, a Setup-Kit with the necessary file structure to produce a LogicLab install executable.

You can then further customize the Setup-Kit to obtain a final LogicLab setup executable file, ready to be distributed. LogicLab can be customized in many ways (program name,install location, splash screen, about screen and informations, version, icons) and you can directly change these items by editing simple batch scripts.

LogicLab updates released by Axel are distributed as simple ZIP files containing the program binaries. These files are called LogicLab redist. packages and are available on you customer page.

Please note: Only LogicLab stable releases are available on customer page; BETA releases are located only in Quixplorer page.
