Desgining an Install for your completed Laz app ...
« on: January 09, 2024, 03:57:46 pm »
Searching, but can't find how to design an install app so the user can just download the install file that contains all the required files and auto create a subfolder for the required data files which the user can create via my app.

Anyone can't point me to the right place?

Take a look at the free Inno Setup https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php.

If you not need to copy files into specific system folders,  ie: at the end all in one main folder + sub folders of main, you also can use any good compressor and build an executable archive.

Great, thanks for great info! I didn't think of that, I use WinRAR for archiving and backups. Probably easier to use than Inno for my purpose, I'll have to experiment...
