No offence meant and I didn't say "who wants to deliver those just for the
installation". Whoever wants they will and they do. Whoever doesn't -
welcome to our solution. In the manual it is clearly defined - to the best
of our knowledge, of course - what Catapult can do and that you should use
InstallShield or WISE for more complex (or rare) cases.
And to answer your question no, I guess it doesn't [support TrueSync] yet.
If there was a serious demand for it I think it would have been implemented
by now (especially considering the only difference is the registry entry),
but there isn't so far. Instead, we do what people want now- custom hooks
via additional DLL, localization, building from a COM component etc.
Once again, I didn't mean to attack or offend anybody. If you got this
impression, I beg for a pardon.

Does Catapult support older installs like the one described by a previous
poster? I, too, often have to deal with installations that are still using
PalmPilots and a 2.0 HotSync or earlier. (I've even had some installs that
use Starfish Software's TrueSync that used to come with Sidekick 97.) Does
Catapult support all of this? The current Palm DLLs do (but like you said,
who wants to have to deliver those just for installation?).
