Hi all, I want to make a self extractor application for my setup code. But i am not getting the path as where to start from. Can anybody please tell me how to start with it... Thanks in advance

If you want to make JUST a self extractor... why don't you use the Winzip self extractor tool? Is the easiest one I know, wizard steps, just make a folder with all the things you want to have in the places you want to have them and pack it up. Unpacking will use the path from where you create the selfextractor if you don't give any other command.

For building setups, I use NSIS. You can not possibly get better than those (free!) tools without just recreating them.

Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Use IExpress. It is easy and comes with each and every Windows. and you don't need to download anything else. just time iexpress in Run menu and it will appear. It also provide the facility that Run the selected file on starup.
