Guest Paul Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hot on the heels of my installAPK utility to let you install APKs from your Windows desktop, I now have another neat trick... which allows developers to distribute APKs as Windows EXE files instead. What do I need? NSIS install system - http://nsis.sourceforge.net APK2EXE (my suite) - APK2EXE.zip Your APK :) What does the end user need? The end user needs their device attached to their PC, with the appropriate drivers installed (which they can grab from http://android.modcao.com/usbdrivers). How do I use it? Follow these steps to create your executable!Extract APK2EXE to a new directoryAdd your APK to the directoryDoubleclick APK2EXE.NSI and edit the 3 lines containing information about your application.Right click the NSI file, and select 'Compile NSIS Script' - this will create your install EXETest your installer! <_<Done!

Guest Magnetic_dud Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) sorry if i am rude, but i hope that no developers will adopt this system I hate to running setups on my pc, the best way to distribute the apps is through the market; if the developer wanna make it easier for people to find their app on the market, they could just embed a QR code... edit: btw this is the best solution for who is not having a data plan or wifi access on his android device Edited August 14, 2009 by Magnetic_dud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julian_Rayner Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Unfortunately not all countries have access to paid apps, so developers need some other mechanism to sell the applications, installation is of course a very very important part of that process Well done Paul, have already put a couple of people to your pages on this, Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimBob Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 sorry if i am rude, but i hope that no developers will adopt this system I hate to running setups on my pc, the best way to distribute the apps is through the market; if the developer wanna make it easier for people to find their app on the market, they could just embed a QR code... edit: btw this is the best solution for who is not having a data plan or wifi access on his android device AFraid I agree with Magnetic_dud but for a different reason... I run two operating systems in my house, one is OS X 10.6 the other is Ubuntu, my Hero works great with these two OS's out of the box, if developers start implementing Windows based installers for distributing applications it will isolate me and any other non-Windows users. Primarily I would like to use the Market Place, if that is not an option then some cross platform installer would be welcomed (e.g. Java based). Paul's concept is great, but a cross platform solution would make a great idea even better! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest svmd88 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sorry for resurrecting the dead but... I have just found this little gem you have created and I love it, but I am having a little trouble. First there was a report from NSIS saying an error on line line 14 - figured that one out you had: name ${NAME} instead of: name "${NAME}" then i managed to pack the file into an exe, but then I get this error when trying to install me exe pack I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. any help would be great!

I got the same error. 2 Years ago, there was nothing to download. Last year, it was a blank zip file. Now, it is this stupid ipb file. Please fix this problem. If the program is fake, please just admit it. post-1-1243935314 (1).ipb Edited November 16, 2017 by Trung Nguyen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
