Hello,

I have a program that comes in a ZIP file. So installation is pretty easy right smile.gif.
Can anyone tell me how to make a nLite addon for such a package?
An installer is not available for this program.

Thanks for any information.

Hi!
You could simply create a SFX that copies all files to the final destination.
This SFX then can be used like a "normal" installer and you can create your addon out of it.
For making a SFX you can use severel compression tools or take a look at this here: SFXMaker 1.0 Beta (by iuli_kyle @ msfn.org)

cheers

You can also try Inno Setup..it's simple, and for zip files you just point at the executable and include the whole directory and it will add all the subdir's. The switches are always the same /SP- /VERYSILENT and just use NLAOM (nLite Addon Maker) to create the compressed cab.

Similar but different. Good idea also. Thanks a lot.
