Alternative GetRight Pro Installer by Ricardo

Download Here

Current GetRight Pro version included in the installer: 6.5

Last update: June-22-2012

R.I.P. GetRight

• There are no official news about GetRight since the first half of 2010.
• Version 6.5 was silently released in Jan/2011.
• The official forum is offline since Apr/2012, along with many years of helpful posts. Internet Archive has a few old copies of it.
• And Michael Burford was abducted by apples.

About this Installer

This is an alternative installer (setup program) for GetRight Pro I created using Inno Setup.
Some advantages over the official installer:

• It is updated more frequently (after every major and minor releases);
• Easy-to-use "Repair" feature to fix the current installation if some problem appears;
• Displays more options during the install process;
• You can easily register your copy of GetRight during the install process;
• Creates well-organized icons in the Start menu;
• Installs a file with a list of all the changes between GetRight versions;
• The setup program is available in many languages.

Note 1: This is an unofficial installer, unsupported by the GetRight's author.
Note 2: GetRight version 6.3a inaugurates a new official installer based on this one, but not updated as often and with fewer installation options.

Tips

• If you want to migrate from the official installer to this one, first uninstall the original using the "Upgrading GetRight" option and then install GetRight using this installer.
• You can install or reinstall over previous installations, but it is recommended to uninstall the previous using the "Upgrading GetRight" option.
• If you uninstall GetRight, and then reinstall it without enabling the option "Take over Downloads from your web browser", the click-monitoring may start deactivated and will need to be enabled manually (right-click the tray icon and choose "Turn On Click-Monitoring").
• Read the History.txt file in the folder where you installed GetRight to know about the changes between GetRight versions.

Check my "Alternative GetRight Uninstaller". Use it only if the normal Uninstall Program doesn't work -- what is very improbable.
