DeployFox automates the steps required to deploy your applications by providing a customizable list of tasks: copy files, rename files, build a project into an EXE, digitally sign an EXE, run an Inno Setup script to create an installer, upload files to an FTP site, and so on.
I released a new version today that adds a new capability: templates. I have several applications that have nearly identical DeployFox projects: Stonefield Query for AccountMate, Stonefield Query for Alere, Stonefield Query for Sage 300, and several others. By creating DeployFox variables, I made the tasks more generic. For example, the Copy SFQuery.CHM task, which every application's DeployFox project has, copies {$ProjectFolder}\HTMLHelp\sfquery.chm to {$ProjectFolder}. $ProjectFolder contains the folder where the application is located so the task is the same for every application. For those tasks that have different settings, I have an INI file containing the values for those settings for the current project, read those values into DeployFox variables, and then use those variables for the setting values.
Virtual Fox Fest 2026 is a two-day event on October 21-22, 2026. Great speakers will deliver great sessions, with chat available for all of us to comment, ask questions, and share experiences. Plus, we’ll get to hang out virtually with new and old friends. More details here: https://virtualfoxfest.com/
