Hey guys,

I have some files that I would like to install in various
directorys and would like to somehow make a setup program
that will automatically install the files including the
program in a certain directory(which in turn will allow
the program to work). Is there a way I can create an
executable or another file that will perform this function?


thanx

Search the internet for a program called installmaker. You
should be able to find a copy that you can download out
there somewhere. It will allow you to make an installation
program that will allow you to place files in
predetermined directories.
 
Thank you

If you're serious, try a commercial product like InstallShield.
If it's relatively simple install, then see if WinZip Self Extractor suits.

PS. You might want to ask in a different group for a better answer.

You may want to take a look at the way Jan Karel Pieterse did it with the
namemanager utility.

You can find it at:
NameManager.Zip from http://www.bmsltd.co.uk/mvp

He has an installation workbook included in the zip file.

Good suggestion. Why have I waited until now to get the Name Manager?
And the installation routine is pretty straightforward, and could be
adaptable to Todd's needs.

I was going to suggest the Package and Deployment Wizard, if Todd has
the Office 2000+ Developer's Edition or VB6, but that's overkill for
just installing a few files.
