Does somebody make a web installer for Delphi applications? I heard
that TMS made something like that but I couldn't find it on their web site.

TMS has a web update component, TWebUpdate. See:
http://www.tmssoftware.com/site/wupdate.asp Not an installer as such, but
an updater for already installed apps. Another way to do it would be to use
the TWebCopy component and download a setup file to the temp directory and
run that, which is what I'm doing.

Define "Web Installer"? We use Inno Setup, add a signature to the setup
file and can start installation when the setup is defined as file for a
ActiveX-Control in IE.

Launch Internet Explorer->point to a certain URL-> The application is
installed on the desktop.

IE blocks every download by default if the executable doesn't have a
valid signature.

Bernhard,

Can you elaborate on how you went about implementing a signature for your
installer? We'd like to add one with a new product. Any experience or gotchas
worth mentioning would be greatly appreciated.

when the setup is defined as file for a ActiveX-Control in IE.

Can you elaborate on this?
Do you mean the setup .exe is the ActiveX-Control or a third party
ActiveX-Control is downloading/launching the setup file?
