    Does anyone have any links to 'simple' tutorials on .zip files. I'm sending out an update. I was thinking that I should also include a link to a very simple tutorial on Zips. The users go from not so computer-literate to power-users. I don't have to worry about the later, but the others :headache: I was wondering if anyone knows of a good tutorial for beginners. Everything that I've seen advertises a product.

        You might want to create a self-extracting .zip file which will be easier for your users to handle. Running the file in an appropriate install root folder would update your components. If you want to invest the time and effort in building a real installer (recommended), consider using Jordan Russell's 100% free and most excellent Inno Setup[^]. :cool: /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

          I've created an install file. The problem is: The guy who paid me to write it, is putting on his web site, which does not allow .exe 's to be transfered. I suggested renaming it with an extension of .ex_ and allowing users to get it that way. They could rename it and then run it. But no, he wants to put it on in a zip file. I used Little Setup Builder[^] which is, in my opinion, awesome (and free.) Thanks for the link, I just downloaded Inno Setup, gonna try it.
