OK this is probably very simple for some people, however I have never done this type of work before. Basically I have a working copy of a modified client on my pc, I am trying to create an installer from these files and have had only minimal luck in doing so. The installer I created is the exact same size as the installed client. What tools would I use to pack these files up and create an installer. Thank you for any help.
use winrar create a self extracting archive good luck :D
I appreciate the response, however I am looking for something more professional looking.
Try this
Inno Setup
Its setup utility that allows you to use 7-zip archives. So you would archive the client with 7-zip then write a setup script using innosetup. I haven't used this so can't help if you run into problems

Inno Setup is a good choice.
other choices are here:
install maker - Google-Suche
quite easy to use google :D:
nah now for real, it depends on what you exactly want. For doing small installers all tools are ok, even SFX of archivers. For professional Installers i whould use MSI-Studio or Installshield Wizard ( both are not for free :wink: )
I use CreateInstall Free and Install Creator (clickteam).
Try using Nullsoft its opensource and highly scriptable

I personally use a setup creator called QSetup:
Q-Setup Program, Developer Installation Software, Windows Installer - MSI
QSetup is also very easy to use and figure out for in-experienced setup builders ;)

I know QSetup does also cost, but I am pretty sure they permit a "trial"; and even though I cannot help you, per forum rules, you can always find (torrent) a 'cracked' copy of QSetup opposed to paying for it ;)
Nullsoft also has a bunch of "nubcake" script builders, just look on the site :laugh:Quote:
