[Tutorial] How to make an installer (No need to purchase)
This is a very easy to make installer.
Ok, let's say you want to make an installer and are looking everywhere for one that is free, but then you end up with viruses or spyware or trials then have to pay for them.
So here is the freeway to make an installer and not have to pay 1 cent and it won't say this installer was made with blah blah blah.
so here it is.
For this tut you are going to need
1.Common sence
2.A brain
3.Winrar: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html
4.And oviously a computer.
What you are going to do is install winrar.
After you are done go to the folder you want to make an installer for.
When you find the folder go into it, highlight everything> right click>add to (foldername).rar> click it.
then it's going to compile.
(For this tut I'm going to use IjjI GunZ)

When that is done open the .rar file that was created.
on the right you will see something that says SFX, click that.
Then something will open up.
This is what will open up.

Click on the tab comment and write what you want the people that are installing it to read.
when done go back to the SFX tab
then click the button that says "Avanced SFX options..."
Then it will open up a new thing.
That looks like this

Make a path for where to install, i put it to install into C:\ijji\Gunz.
When done, go to the tab that says "Text and icon".
Where it says "Title of SFX window" Type in the name of the installer. Since im doign it with the ijji files I would call it Ijji Installer, but that's entirley up to you.
Where it says "Text to display in SFX window" type in what you want people to see aswell.
If you have a disclaimer or something like that go to the tab that says "License".
Where it says "Title of license window" Type in the title of the Disclaimer.
Where it says "License text" type in the disclaimer or load one from a text document.
If you want to add a shortcut to the Start Menu, click the tab that says advanced, then click ont he button that says shortcuts, then where it says "Source file name" type in where the file is for example for ijji it would be C:\ijji\Gunz\Gunz.exe
And where it says Destination folder you can type in Desktop,
Where it says shortcut description make a description of the file.
and shortcutname make it What ever you want it to be.
And hit ok, then ok, then finally ok.
and your done!
you have your very own installer.
This tut took me aprox 1 hour to make since i had to take all the pics and write all this down.
and then when i hit submit new thread it deleted everything.
Don't flame cause this is easy to do but this may be useful for people that want to know how to do this.
If you find this useful please give a possitive comment.

it is ok for noobs this is common sense when i first started making a gunz server thats what i did really easy to do, now what i am planning to do is find a nice installer with no virus's ect pay for it and then release it here with the registry key so you don't get the this was made by blah blah blah bit
btw, is that a custom gui? or just a theme?
