[Dev-C++] Creating an installer for Windows

[Jan M. <jan...@vo...>]

Hello,

I do not know if anyone is familiar with it but 
I would to ask, how to create some installation 
script for Windows system
It means it just place an exe to PATH
so it is runnable.
I know it is done by these things like
Install Shield and similar. 
But I have nothing like this and to be honest
I do not to want to learn
programs like this.

Thank you

Jan Mura

There are several free installers available, and some of the advantages of
using one is:
- distribute a compressed binary
- automatically add start menu item
- add a documentation file
- allow uninstall that works even for people who don't know computers.

Of cause you can write a simple batch which copies your binary f.e. to =
c:\windows\system32 or whereever.

But have a look at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

Use one of the basic examples and you will be able to create a =
professional installer in 5 minutes.
