Can I generate a single Setup.exe?

[bedowin]

I see a lot of programs on the web that are simply One file that unpacks itself and runs the setup. Where could I find a packaging program like this? Even if it cost money. I would apprectiate the help.

Check out Fusion on http://www.bit-arts.com, it is a good program for packing files into a exe.

Winzip is also a good program if you want to have your program self extract itself and all its files.

Inno Setup (as favoured by Megatron) is free from http://www.jrsoftware.org

If you have lots of cash to spare, try InstallShield which seems to be the most popular one out there.

There's also Visual Studio Installer, free for registered VB users.

I think he meant through what VB was already. I have no idea how to do that.

I think I am going to hold off on purchasing Install Shield until I create a piece of software that I expect to surpass that amount. Inno setup looks good so far. Will try, thanks.
