SSE Setup (short for Simple Smart Easy Setup) is a free, customizable, multilingual software installation and uninstallation files packaging tool for Windows. It can help developers create new versions of programs or release a new update/patch/hotfix project for solving software bugs or other types of problems through a step-by-step guide.

As a reliable and user-friendly Windows Installer creating program, SSE Setup comes with many features, such as copying files, registering DLL/OCX files, creating/setting/deleting registry items, creating shortcuts, and more.
