Instalation Program

[magice]

I need to write a stack that will install my programs in a user defined directory and make all the appropriate registry changes. I have done this in the past by saving all the files as custom properties of the stack then writing them to the proper directories. This time however I have over 1000 supporting files and saving each as a custom property is tedious. I also have experimented with the revZip library, but have had no luck with it at all. Is there any way to have a stack extract an entire archive in one command? Also I am attempting to use .rar archives could that be a problem?

Hi Magice,

for WIndows I always use the free "InnoSetup", which does all the reg stuff for you and results in a SINGLE exe file:

I like the looks of that. I will give it a try.
