Make .exe from App

[fllewis]

I don't even know where to start on this one: I am developing a db app, and I want the user to be able to back up the db and some other files that go along with it.

Does anybody know if there is a way to make a .exe file that will install the backed up files? What I want to do is, when the user clicks on the menu to backup data, the program will build an exe file that contains the files to be backed up. That exe will be saved to disk. When the user runs the .exe, it will look to the registry and install the backed up files to their original location.

Is this possible?

Thanks...
