    Hello There!!! I need to create an installer for my program with the following features. + Install folder of user's choice + Checkbox to place Shortcut on Desktop + Free usage for commercial products as well Since I have no experience of creating installers so I'd prefer something with a simple GUI. If you have a link to a step by step guide to create installers then please provide me few. Thanks Sukhjinder

          Well the standard for Windows installations is Windows Installer. Many tools are available some I think are free. If you are using Visual Studio it has Installer Project types that you can add to your main Solution for your application. Of course I have no idea if any of that helps you because you gave no specific information about your platform or tools being used. Also I suggest better planning on your part in the future. Waiting until the project is done to think about installation is a mistake. You might want to study up on Life Cycle Development[^]. There is far more to releasing software than hacking some code into an application. Not planning for those other things generally leads to disaster unless you are going to have under 10 users.
