Posts: 22                Does anyone have any suggestions on how to build a 
self-extracting installation file for distributing software ?

You know... Those single files that prompt the user for the installation 
directory, creates one if necessary, then copies all the necessary files to the 
directory and places a shortcut on the desktop.

My current distribution package has the executable, a userguide text file, and 
a few minor support files but it would be nice to drop them into a single 
self-extracting installation file.
