I have made a few apps and am looking to produce a setup file which will install all of them under one folder, but without having to have a central application which links them all together. I also have some OCX files which may be required.
Package and Deploy would work fine for one app, but I'm not sure how to make this more complex, and also include a resources folder.
All three applcations are written in Visual Basic, and have a few folders that are referenced in the code as app.path & "\resources" or other folder names. How would I build an installer that would create a folder in Program Files on the user's computer, for instance called "MyFolder" and inside that place the resource folders required and their conents, as well as including the three executables. Then a new shortcut folder should be made in the Start-->All Programs, with short-cuts to the three apps in there.
Ideally, I'd like the user to be able to select which of the three apps they install (e.g. a tickbox system so they can have all or 1 or 2.)
I'm sorry if this is a bit waffly, and I may be trying to make something too complex. I remember making an installer previously using another piece of software exc. package and deploy but I acn't remember exactly what and how. I've scoured the forums and found references to many apps, e.g. Inno that will make installers, but does anyone know of any that can do what I need (preferably freeware). Also, can package and deploy be tweaked to do what i need?
Thanks!
