Creating an executable installer

July 25, 2001 7:19 AM from

sorry people im new to this...

I'm currently trying to create desktop backgrounds, icons, sounds etc. which i hope to distribute via download.

thing is the target audience will propably be quite young and therefore I need a 'one click' installer that will update the icons, wallpaper etc. etc.

does anyone know of a piece of software which will allow me to package all this together and automatically install it all on all Win versions?

please let me know...

have fun people!

There are a few around....freeware and shareware...I've experimented with them for LiteSTEP...with varied results...[I was probably trying to do too much with them]...

I'll hunt down a link or two...
