FreeExtractor - the easiest way to create self extracting archives for Windows |
http://freeextractor. sourceforge.net/ |
14 December 2008 3:58:00pm
FreeExtractor is the easiest way to create self-extracting archives for Windows from existing ZIP files. This is not an install program simply an unextraction program. It is open-source solution. With a Windows 2000-style wizard-based user interface, end users will find FreeExtractor-created archives intuitive, fast and easy to use. Self-extractor authors follow a simple 4-step wizard which guides them through the process. It has a few silly restrictions (if you want it to start an install process after extraction) which may get in the way of what you are trying to do but is well worth a look. For simple packaging of a few files to send to a mate etc it would be excellent. I was originally using this but changed to NSIS. |

A fully featured freeware windows installer that creates shortcuts, updates registry etc, details below:
While this program seems very powerful, it does require you to work its way (directory structure etc) and does have too many configuration files. There is a good GUI wizard available but of course it still has to work within the base restrictions.

Free windows install generater (Source available):
I am using this to package my PPWIZARD HTML preprocessor as it is very simple to use (although future projects will use my own MAKEMSI tool). I had everything worked out within an hour or two. It has one only configuration file and works with your directory structure. I'm very impressed (although I will be reporting all sorts of suggestions and some "features"). I have created a "NSIS_HDR" add-on for ppwizard which simplifies the creation of the install scripts so the effort involved in creating a new package should be trivial. |
