Well now, that's a nice headline, but does he come through with what he promises ?? The answer is a "FLAT OUT NO!"
After some problems come up ...you first look around for the help files..... AAAHHH! There are none!
So, you go to the boards and see if any of your friends are having similar problems or they know how to solve your problems. Here is just two samples of what was found.
FIRST POST:
I want to make my sincere apologies to you all about being so upbeat about this Magic Buddy program. I've just read (Members Name) review and totally agree. I should have used it first; I've learned a valuable lesson here, but I'm really sorry that it may have been at some of yours expenses.
I'm asking for a refund as well. I've been up most of last night learning how to make set-up files myself with the free program provided with the installer program (Immo or something), since after getting severe head aches trying to understand what magic I had to input to make my 'buddy' do the trick, it didn't create a set-up file as I wanted it at all.
I've managed a set-up file, but I wouldn't accredit it to Magic Buddies. Like (Members Name) predicted: it took me about two hours to figure out how to locate and configure .ico files which in the end never got displayed; the help lines were most of the time totally incomprehensible; you have to put in a serial number that is made with an additional little program which begins to ask for a password to encrypt - still haven't figured out what the use for this was - and it doesn't tell you how to go about the serial number. In the end you're left with a script that you need to copy to another program - the real set-up file maker and then I discovered that the set-up file didn't include the subfolders and files, which was exactly the reason I wanted this program in the first place.
DO NOT BUY THIS PROGRAM !!!!! AND CERTAINLY DON'T ADVERTISE IT. IT RUINS YOUR REPUTATION. I AM REMOVING IT FROM MY SITE.
I also got the distinct feeling the whole program was created in (products name)- no helpfiles ?! So all of you serious programmers now know where the niche is. Go for it! I'll be your first customer.
In addition to that - the other program I posted here as a recommendation does live up to expectations and I'm using it daily and happily and the creator provides great support when there are difficulties.

I purchased and tried InstallerMagicBuddy. I asked for (and received) a refund. IMHO, this program is just not ready for prime time. Compared to (products name), the whole thing seems almost amateurish to me.
After paying $67 for it, and having to jump through hoops to install it (ironic for a program that is, in itself, supposed to create an easy-to-use installer), I found that it had an advertising banner for safelist hosting embedded in it. That's just downright tacky, again IMHO. Free programs can be ad-supported. A paid-for program shouldn't.
On my copy, the link to "Support" wouldn't work. The one in the Start > Programs did, but the one embedded on the program didn't.
There are several fields that ask you to input the Full Path to files on your computer, including Icons (.ico files, I assume). Most people getting into the field of online income generation are newbies, or at least non-technical types. They might not (probably don't) even know what an .ico file is, let along where to locate one. Or create one for themselves.
There are no "Browse" buttons.
The "explanations" for some of the fields are very murky. Difficult to understand for something that is supposed to be "easy." One even says something to the effect of "don't want to confuse you further, but..."
There's nothing on it as far as a toolbar is concerned, except a "File" button which allows you only to "Exit." There's no help file accessible from within the program.
You have to re-enter your license/unlock code each time you open it, and the text box to do so disappears if you don't do it "just right." There is no second chance except to close it and reopen. It can be frustrating to even open the program if you're in a hurry, or even the least bit careless.
There isn't even a "how to" for that.
There were supposed to be 3 "bonuses" attached with the purchase. After paying through PayPal, the page that came up to download the IMB and the bonuses showed two of those bonuses as not being available. I believe it said they were being "worked on." The third bonus, the Bare-Bones Email Deleter downloaded fine, but when trying to install, I found out I'd been given a license code that was "either outdated or invalid." I was unable to install it.
I will say this. When I asked for a refund, Diane Dunn, of Support, was prompt and courteous.
This has the potential to be an *excellent* program, but it needs to be retooled to take into consideration dummies like me (and 90% of the others out there). A program should be designed with the "lowest common denominator" in mind.
There it is -- Just two of the examples about this program. The risk is up to you, but there are far better programs out there.
