Hi ...
This is a pre-purchase question...
Which of your products would be suitable to do the following...
Create a setup/install program to include on a CD.... to allow a user to choose to install the contents of same CD on a local hard drive instead of running directly from the CD.
I do not want to imbed the CD directories and files in the installer.
I just want to let the user click an installer that creates relative folders in the "Program files" directory, copies the startup and data files from the CD to those directories on the hard drive, creates desktop shortcut and updates the programs menu listing, uninstall option etc. No registry updates..very simple.
Thanks

Hi,
Add in your project all the files that will placed on the CD.
After that go to the the "Media" tab and:
- check the "Create EXE setup file". Select the "Leave MSI and install files outside" option.
- select the "Place files unpacked in folders next to the MSI database" option
You can then copy the EXE, the MSI and your files on the CD. Specify the EXE in your Autorun file.
