Them being SGLauncher and Infector, I don't think there's any other
free ones, I think there was a free version of GameCover a while back
but it was limited, very limited.

I think there should be more free launchers to choose from, probably not a lot of people will comment.

SGLauncher has a lot of features, nice features, but I had a hard time using it, but I can't figure out smart phones either.

Mine (Infector) I just designed it to fit my simple way of thinking, while it may have a lot of features, some of the one's that are paid for will have other features and more support.

as far as I know between the free one's the difference is the use,
some find it easier to use SG and some the other.

but since their free I say try them all. that's what I did.

It would be nice if there were more to choose from.

If you are serious about your games and really want to try.Yup, I said TRY to make some money from your games, I would suggest
spending a hundred dollars and go get Vishnu Launcher at
http://www.northernfoxmedia.com
.
Then get http://www.smartpacker.nl/smartpackerpro.html
or FPS V Packer for Games at the same site, Or here at GameCreators
.
Now go to
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=195895&b=23
and download Section 812's s812mod. Before he wises up and puts a twenty dollar price tag on it.
.
OPTIONS.
get The Zombie Killer's Killer Launcher. (it's free! it shouldn't be free as it is a great program)
https://forumfiles.thegamecreators.com/download/2341701
.
I would get Zombie Killer's Killer Launcher anyway along with the suggestions Section 812 made. The reason being that as you go you will want different launchers as they each have features you can use for different type of games.

S4Real has Vishnu Launcher as Meows mention. S4real also has what he originally developed -- the Vishnu Packer. It is free and you can find it here for download. This also launches your game as well.

If you are interested only in one of the free packers/launchers, I would simply download them all and then try them out yourself. After all, they are free.

FPSC V-Packer has a trial version for you to download and the "pro" pack (Smart Packer) does as well. So I would download those and give them a spin.

There is one more that was not mentioned. It along with Vishnu Launcher are the two least expensive products. The other one that was not mentioned is the InterFPSC Launcher that can be found here.

Unfortunately there is no trial version. When the price goes up on this application after the introductory price expires it would be nice if there were a trial.

Vishnu launcher is $5.00 and depending on the money market rates the introductory price for InterFPSC is between $10.73 and $11.25. I had to pay $11.25. I believe, after July 1st, it will go up about twice the 6.99 it is currently at. I don't know if that is British Pounds or Euro. To be fair I also bought Vishnu Launcher. I try to support the community in this way as well.

If I had the time I would give a review of them all but I don't. This is one those times when a review would be great but there should be no actual ratings because they are all different an have their own unique features although the main feature is to pack and launch a game.

Unless I missed a memo from s4real, Vishnu Launcher is $5.00 USD.

So sorry, I possibly did not write that the right way.
I was refering to the package. Vishnu Launcher, SmartpackerPro, and all other launchers.

We all still need one that can handle....
