Program installer

[Rick Lipkin]

To All

I need to be able to package up an install file for an Oracle Client setup .. I have the folders and files and a couple of reg import files I need to add as well as registering one .dll .. I have looked for .msi installers and have found them all quite confusing and worthless ( so far )

I did see the Install.prg in the samples folder, however that version is quite old .. If anyone has an installer code that I can use, modify .. I would be most grateful ..

Here is what I need to install .. do

1) xcopy about 1 mg worth of files and multiple nested folders to the local c:\drive
2) be able to run 3 .reg files to import my registry keys
3) regsvr32 a .dll file ( register a file )
4) modify the path statement

Thanks for any help or advice

Hello Rick,
have also a look at: ISTOOL

Rick,

I´m using NSIS, it´s a free very good installer, similar to InnoSetup.
