setup maker

Hi I'm desperately searching for a program who can create setups. All utils i've found until now who can do that, are with annoying company screens or with limitations (if you want to change this, get the professional edition .. arghhh) etc. Anyone found a very good one? or made one on its own? Let me know; Greetings Jens

Do you mean that you do not want to pay for Wise or InstallShield and you are looking for freeware? There is free version of setup which comes with VS.Net , the problem is it does not have fancy UI and you really have to understand Installer SDK (available for free from Microsoft)

I use NSIS from Nullsoft, the creators of Winamp 2.x. Winamp uses NSIS, CDex uses it and many other programs. What I like about NSIS is, that it is open-source, free and has a small scripting language :) regards

I dont think any of the free ones do and I believe that is a very good thing!! I have an application problem with the update for MSDE that everytime I reboot the pc it wants to reinstall MSDE. The thing is that it is fully installed and works fine... John

I would go with John M. Drescher suggestion (InnoSetup), which is very simple to use. Also Windows has an installer and this is the website [^]. Also, check your Visual Studio CDs because it has InstallShield somewhere, and there is also a tutorial on how to use it here in CodeProject. // Afterall, I realized that even my comment lines have bugs When one cannot invent, one must at least improve (in bed).-My latest fortune cookie

first of all .. thank you guys for the fast reply I worked with the InnoSetup program. The program was exactly what i was searching for. Nice done! Greetings Jens
hey guys, i've seem to have one problem with 'InnoSetup'. I've added to script that install has to make a desktop shortcut. After install, i open the shortcut. The program launches. But then i get an error (error opening database file). 'Can not find c:\..\desktop\....db' file The program searches in the directory where the shortcut is made! It needs to search the database file in the same directory where the program executable really is (not where the shortcut is). The same happens when i open the shortcut on start-menu. It searches the database files where the start menu group is located at. The strange this is .. if i make a shortcut from my program to the desktop, i don't get this error and program is executed correctly. Anyone who can fix this problem? Greetings Jens
