installer program

i need help!

Do u guys know wat program will make all the files into a installer?

just like the normal software installer file...

which will let u choose
"install in C/program file"

then at the end of the install
"create shortcut at desktop?"

in closing,
-a program which allows u to let u zip all the files as a installer file.
-so that i can burn my data and let my friend install just in afew clicks.

i'll be very thankful!

If pay money most developers use the software called InstallShield. If using Visual Basic, the software itself contains a Deployment Wizard that will build the installer. For .NET there should have an equivalent Wizard I think.

For save money, write your own batch file installer. Lousy UI but it should work Mr. Green

I’m not too sure about this but winzip has a self extracting utility right? Can you use that to create a one click self extracting file?
