    [2005] Install Complicated

    To sell to people or to give people my software how can i make it so there is just one install button by its self and customer just clicks that install and installs the program?

    Right now if i were to give someone freeware i would give them the whole publish folder. Whell whats in it. This makes the qaulity of my programs look bad. I tried just giving the install by its self and it said it cannot install due to missing files or somewhat like that.

    I want one icon that when clicked will install my software.
    A person can download this ONE .exe from my website.

    you can use something like INNO Setup (which is free) to create singel EXE installers. It is fairly simple to use and there is a gui tool called ISTOOL that makes it even easier. Check my signature for links to both.
