What installer software do you use?

[Jon von der Heyden]

I'm just packaging a job I've been working on for a client. I would like one of those swishy self installing gizmo files... I've had a browse through MrE but I can't find any suggestions...

I have 3 files:

RCT_UI.xls
RCT_Loader.xls
RCT_Help.chm

I'm looking for a way that these files extract to specific destinations, with RCT_Loader and RCT_Help being placed on the desktop and in the Start menu.

Does anyone know of a (freeware) product that can handle this?

if it is to be something simple - WinRar can do the trick. it's a shareware but just has a reminder. Selfextracting archives in general are good to some degree about this task.

or maybe try these:

It's not something I've ever needed, but I've heard good things about Inno Setup (freeware I think).

Thanks both. I've tested these and a few more. I've decided to go with Install Creator by www.clickteam.com. Only because it's a little simple and really easy to use.
