xtal256 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi, i am making a visualization for Windows Media Player and i need an install program so the user can install my app on their computer. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I need it to unzip the contents to a folder and register the DLL (currently i have to manually use regsvr32.exe). I only have the express edition of Visual Studio which does not have the tools to package a program into an auto-install program. Can someone please make this for me? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmachine Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 You can use Smart Install Maker. But the demo adds a message at the start of the install...

K^2 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 You should have no trouble throwing one together in C++. Just look up how to spawn child processes. You would need that to call the program that registers DLL. Everything else should be trivial enough. You can append all the files you want to extract as raw data at the end of the executable. The executable can open self in read-only mode. And if you use the DOS-style main with argument list, the first argument will give you the name of the executable. Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
