Self-contained installer?

[giacino]

Hi,

I've been testing the AdvancedInstaller 3.3.1 Pro version over the last few days, and it works great for my needs. I've built an installer which would be close to what I ultimately need, so I will simply need to purchase a license and re-compile the project.

I have a few questions concerning the files needed to deploy an installer.

My project requires to install a "prerequisite" software, So I've added them in the "Prerequisites" section and set the various action. (location: File in Package).

When I compile my project, I end up with 4 files:
Project.exe
project.ini
project.msi
softwarerequired.exe

From what I understood, I would need to deploy those 4 files to the users in order to install my projects and its prerequisites.

Can I only provide one self contained file which will include the 4 files? I am concerns that the users might not know on which file to click on.

Thank you in advance for your help and insights.

Regards,

Guillaume

Hi,

The "Include MSI and install files in EXE" option in the Media will make the output to be a single file.

All the best,
