CharPackage was a freeware desktop application developed by BellCraft Technologies which allows Microsoft Agent characters to be packaged into EXE installers.
Usage
CharPackage allows for packaging Microsoft Agent characters into EXE installers. Characters can be packaged into either silent installers (no dialogs), or installers that display dialogs which can be customized by the user. Many sites, including La Cantoche and the Microsoft Agent Ring used CharPackage for creating installer of characters listed on their site. Even modern programs, including former version of BonziBUDDY Rewritten and Kinito After Story, used CharPackage for installing the necessary characters for the program.
