For Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Create professional interactive multimedia Windows applications with your graphics, music, video and other content... even if your only computer programming experience to date has involved an eight-pound hammer and a chainsaw.

No knowledge of Windows or other nasty digital stuff is required.

Presentation Wizard will assemble:

• Interactive photograph albums — its Photo Album Wizard can create them in seconds.
• Slide shows.
• Digital portfolios that are way too cool to ignore.
• Electronic books and brochures — add formatted, scrollable paragraph text.
• Clickable catalogs. Paper catalogs can't talk — electronic catalogs can.
• Splash screens.
• Custom Windows applications — replace days of costly programming with a few clicks.
• Multimedia presentations that include music, sounds, video, animations and still graphics.

...and just about anything else you can think of that will fit in a window. Unlike other presentation packages, Presentation Wizard's document files are entirely self-displaying. It creates Windows EXE application files which can subsequently be viewed without any additional software.

Presentation Wizard's presentations can be e-mailed, downloaded from a web server, distributed on disk or CD-ROM and generally passed around without worrying about their eventual recipients having specific viewing software installed on their systems. Any computer running a current version of Windows will be able to open a Presentation Wizard document.

This software is available for electronic delivery and on CD-ROM.

• Build quick electronic slide shows.
• Design electronic books that include pictures, sounds, video and interactive elements.
• Write your own clickable advertisements, to distribute alone or with other products.
• Assemble a distributable portfolio of your artwork.
• Distribute your presentations with no viewers, run-times or DLLs to lose.

A Presentation Wizard presentation can be thought of as being analogous to a very intuitive book. Each page of the book can include pictures, animations, video, sounds and Windows controls such as buttons and list boxes. The pages can turn themselves or wait for their users to click on Next. Unlike the pages of a traditional book, they can talk to their readers if you like.

We suggest that you give the readers of your presentations a bit of warning should you have the pages you create talk unexpectedly — especially if some of them have weak hearts.

Whether you'd like to be able to e-mail an electronic photograph album to your relatives, distribute advertisements with a shippable product, allow users of your web page to download a multimedia catalog, show prospective clients samples of your work or assemble books that would have sent Johannes Gutenberg screaming from his workshop, wondering desperately if wasn't too late to invent the paperclip instead, Presentation Wizard will transform your ideas into a complete, professional Windows application.

IMPORTANT: Presentation Wizard requires access to the Internet to validate itself after installation. Please see the discussion of registration key security for a detailed discussion of this functionality.

Downloading and installation of this software: You can ensure yourself of a problem-free installation by reviewing our downloading and installation instructions. The downloadable installer can be used to install either an evaluation copy or a fully-functional registered copy of this application.

Important: You might see a warning during download or installation of these installers concerning possible "malicious code." These messages are generated by Windows if you attempt to download and install most non-Microsoft software. They can be safely ignored.

Norton Antivirus users: Norton security products may generate spurious warnings about downloaded software installers, including some of ours. They appear as WS.Reputation alerts. Norton may delete incoming downloads when it generates this warning. WS.Reputation is not a virus — it's apparently an internal reputation ranking maintained by Symantec, which gets confused from time to time. Please see our support blog for more about it. In the event that you encounter this warning, we recommend that you disable Norton Antivirus to complete your download. It does not indicate the presence of a virus or malware in our installer.

If you're upgrading an earlier installation of this software, please see our discussion of version 4 upgrades before you begin. Doing so will save you no end of head-banging and typing.

Alchemy Mindworks' applications won't install spyware, malware or other invasions of your privacy, and we're extremely careful about virus scans. Learn more about the security of our downloaded installers.

Presentation Wizard 2: Presentation Wizard 2 has been superceded by the current version 4 release. Its installers have been removed from distribution. We recommend that you upgrade to Presentation Wizard 4. Due to its increasing inability to get along with all the current releases of Windows, we are no longer able to provide replacement legacy installers for Presentation Wizard 2 to registered users. Not to put too fine a point on it, Windows has devised more ways to crash it than proponents of global warming have math errors.

Please be sure to review the terms and conditions for distributing Presentation Wizard's documents. There's nothing particularly ominous therein, but the lawyers would have screamed loudly enough to have been heard in Patagonia if we hadn't included them.
