HELP: Installshield-like installers

[dhruba.bandopadhyay]

I wasn't sure where to post this since it's not 100% programming related. I

need advice on installers to give to my company clients so that it installs:

- .NET 2.0 Framework Run-time (22MB)

- installs some ASP.NET files into specified web/IIS folder

- ensure/set aspnet_wp user account full access on specified web/IIS folder

What installer can do this? Are they free programs, and where to get from?

[ophiel]

a simple batch script should do shouldn't it?

for instance to silently install net framework you would execute install.exe /q

A batch script would do what you want, also a self extracting archive made with 7zip, winrar, winzip etc.

But if you want a professional looking install, that will also give your customers the ability to uninstall the application and all changes made to their system then try NSIS available Here. Its free and open source.

Nice link.

I was going to suggest winrar self extracting file, but that is a much better solution. I just added that to my toolkit.
