Hi,

I want to make a setup exe file, that can copy files to a specified directory, place shortcut on the desktop, and maybe make a item in programs and functions, so simply install a program, but I don't know much about programming/scripting. I tried to read about Innosetup, but I think it seems a bit complicated.
So my question is: Is there a program out there, that can make an setup file through a setup wizard, where you choose, where the files will be copied, and the shortcuts, and all that, so don't need to know anything about programming?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards:
Aksel Christoffersen

there are but you have to script the thing so it knows what to do.

In the run dialog of a windows computer, type "iexpress". Obviously, without the quotes. This creates a self-extracting installer package that has options for setting license agreement etc.

What you're looking for is called inno script studio, which is an ide for inno setup that also has a creation wizard. there is an option to download a copy of it with your inno setup installation on the website.

Hi,

I've now tried Inno Scripting Studion, and it works fine for me.
It is however a bit ignoring, that I can't tell it to place a shortcut on the desktop during the installation, or maybe I haven't just figured out yet. I don't know.

Thanks.
