i have found some of the most useful information regarding silent installations of applications and windows on this website so i would like to send bigups to everyone who has contributed!

i have created a customized setup for citrix ica client but now i have several files in 1 folder. my question is what is the easiest way [and or application to use] to package applications for msi installation?

i have copies of both wise and installshield adminstudio. im looking for a way to consolidate my files into a single msi, exe, or zip file that i can use for a silent install...

any ideas?

YOU BROKE RULE NUMBER 11!

I can't even read that

gamehead, chill.. post help other than critism of breaking a rule, a PM is all that is needed, so carry on

i personally use inno setup because:

1. its easy to use.
2. its free.

it doesn't make msi files but it does make a single exe.

the other alternative is use a self extracting rar/zip which is set to extract the files to a temp folder, run the setup msi, then delete the files after setup. thats probably the easier option.

try getting winrar (my favourite) it has a free trial available also.

hope this helps...

@paul3vanz,
hey thats cool. i thought that inno setup is a commercial product.
but with your comment, i think i have to test it right now!
thanx for the info!!!
