I downloaded InnoSetup, and ISTool, but I just don't see exactly how 
to use them. I have a small, but I think useful app that I'd like to 
package up. I've used py2exe to create the dist folder containing the 
exe and a few other files. Here's a screen shot of dist, to which 
I've given the name of the app, "frac": 
<http://www.rcblue.com/Python/fracFolder.png>. I've read the help for 
InnoSetup and ISTool, but I just don't get what to do for what should 
be a simple package. Could someone (Werner?) get me started? I'd 
greatly appreciate it. Sorry to be so dumb.

Or if it's thought that NSIS would be better, or easier for what I 
want to do, I have installed that as well.

Thanks,
