Roxzned Setup Designer (v1) TEST BUILD

What this program does

• Design a custom multi-page installer wizard (UI layout and basic behaviors).
• Pack a folder of files into payload.zip.
• Auto-generate:
  1. Installer Python script (PySide6 GUI)
  2. Uninstaller Python script
• Preview-run the installer without building.
• Optionally build EXE(s) using PyInstaller.

Version 1 Scope (what's included) Designer

• Page list: add/remove/rename pages
• Page background color + optional page background image
• Toolbox elements: Text(Label), Button, CheckBox, Image placeholder, Path Edit
• Drag to move elements + resize from bottom-right corner
• Properties panel for element (text, size, colors basic, action mapping)
• Export generated scripts to files

Actions

• Buttons:
  • Next page
  • Back page
  • Close
  • Open URL
  • Open "Set Path" dialog (usually for Path Edit)
• Checkboxes:
  • Enable/Disable another widget (by ID)
  • Desktop shortcut (Windows)
  • Start Menu shortcut (Windows)
  • Launch app after install (Windows/macOS/Linux attempt)

Installer Logic

• Extracts payload.zip to chosen install directory
• Writes uninstaller script to the install directory
• (Windows) Creates a basic uninstall entry in HKCU uninstall registry key
• Optional shortcuts based on checkbox states

PyInstaller build

• Uses external 'pyinstaller' command if installed.
• Adds payload.zip as bundled data.

Recommended workflow

1. Create a new project
2. Set Project Settings:
   • Source folder (what you want installed)
   • Main EXE relative path (for shortcut/launch), e.g. "MyApp.exe"
   • Default install dir (optional)
3. Design pages and put:
   • Path Edit + its Set Path button
   • Install button (set to Next and make last page do install)
4. Click "Pack payload.zip"
5. Click "Generate Code"
6. Preview-run the installer
7. Export scripts
8. Build with PyInstaller (optional)
