Hello Bill,

Check out Install Gadget

http://www.sweattechnologies.com/InstallGadget/

For simple installations like you are talking about, Install Gadget is hard to beat. The user gets a nice interface. You get a simple drag and drop build... can't be easier. The drag and drop does need to happen on a Windows OS.

I am ready to distribute my application but I need an installer for Windows and I am programming this on a Mac. My installation process is very simple. All I need to do is unzip the folder to the desired location. No registry settings or any other installation processes.

Stuffit Deluxe for the Mac can create a self extracting archive for Windows as a .exe file which unstuffs to the folder and I'm done.

I got to thinking that I can probably do the same thing myself in Rev.
        1. GZip the folder on the Mac
2. Make a Rev Windows standalone that contains the zipped file in a Custom Property that will Unzip/Install the folder when opened.

Distribute the standalone "Installer".

Could it be this simple? Other than not being "Signed by Microsoft" (unless I go through the certification/payment process), is there anything wrong with what I'm suggesting?

Or should I pay for StuffIt Deluxe to do this?

Thanks,
Bill Vlahos
