How do I build an installer program?

[Bill-E-BoB]

I just finished writing a macro that needs to be set up on approximately 100 employees computers, and unfortunately its not just the macro...its also the mainframe session and directory that will need to be set up on each computer. I can install it manually quite easily, but I'm not real anxious to sit down at 100 workstations and manually do it. Can someone show me code for an installer program that will automatically set each users computer up when they run it? Here's what needs to happen:

1)Install the macro itself to C:\program files\attachmate\e!e2k\macros\automation.ebm
2)Build a mainframe session that connects to the correct server saved to c:\program files\attachmate\e!e2k\sessions\OESOTS.edp. I've saved an appropriate session onto a network drive for users, so all that needs to happen is open G:\automation\OESOTS.edp and then Save it as c:\program files\attachmate\e!e2k\sessions\OESOTS.edp.
3)Create a folder for the interface files users will be using located at C:\interfaces\
4)Put a shortcut on the desktop pointing to the OESOTS.edp session.

I'd like to set it up as an exe file that just installs those 4 components...that way all I need to do is send a memo out with a link to the installer on our network drive and each user can install their own without me having to pull out whats left of my hair. Is that do-able?

Use Inno Setup or Package and Deployment wizard.

Ahh, that looks like just what I needed. I'll mess around with it, looks pretty straight forward. Thanks for your help!!

And Sorry I posted in the wrong forum originally...my bad.

Yeah it is really easy, can get very detailed depending how much you want to customize. Also id suggest using this program to accompany it, has a graphical interface for Inno, though I usuallly still go into the code part, it makes it even easier.
