'''InstallIt!''' is installation software for DOS, developed by Rick Pedley and Coffee Mug Software.

It has a compressed file format associated with, which can be managed using the included COMPRESS.EXE and DECOMP.EXE utilities.

== Discussion ==
It's possible that v2.00 was the only version of InstallIt. It evolved from an earlier program named ''Installer'' ({{CdTextfiles|somuch/smsharew3/PROG/INSTLR12.ZIP|INSTLR12.ZIP}}), but the programs don't appear to have much in common.

== Identification ==
Compressed files have ASCII signature "{{magic|CP2.00}}" beginning 43 bytes from the end of the file. They are observed to end with ASCII "{{magic|32}}".
