Setup.exe - Creation Of

[PKDEB]

Dear Friends

What i can understand is that it is not your .EXE file that need to be installed but only the .DLL and .OCX and other dependency would suffice.

So if I generate a setup.exe without including my .exe file. It should work. The purpose is that my setup.exe file should be small enough with just 1 cab file.

suggestion/opinion solicited.

So don't include your main exe into distribution.
This method is used when program is ran from the network folder but you'd also need to configure desktop shortcut somehow so people have access to actual program.

... unless I totally misunderstood you ...

Dear Rhinobull

Thanks your advice. You are right at the point. I want to distribute my .exe in a pendrive which will be executed from that drive only so there is no fun installing the same in the host computer as the program is movable and can be operated in any computer by inserting the pen drive.

So the .exe shall ensure that all the .dll, .ocx are registered, if not it will quickly run the setup.exe to install the same. That's why i want my setup.exe as small as possible and contains only the dependencies required.

I hope i m clear. Thanks once again

That is the whole purpose of an installation program... ...
