Hi,
I am new to Advanced Installer. I am wondering how I can create an EXE instead of a MSI. Some of my clients require EXEs instead of MSIs, for security purposes. Thanks in advance for the help!!

Re: Create EXE???
Hi Andy,
You can create an EXE installer by using the "Create EXE setup file" and "Include install files in EXE" options in the Bootstrapper tab of the Media page.
Note that this installer will still include a MSI package, therefore it cannot be installed on machines which prevent MSI installations. Also, Advanced Installer creates installation packages by using the Windows Installer technology, therefore you cannot use it to build a non-MSI installation package.

Cosmin
