Creating an executable installer on Windows
Hello, I'd like to know how one can create a Windows installer executable. I have this bunch modules, html files, pictures and directories that I'd like to install in various places on a disk drive. When the executable is run, it's like pretty much any standard installation: user answers a few questions, click OK, and then everything is there. Thanks Bernard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks Bernard I use combination of py2exe (http://www.py2exe.org) to create distributable python application and Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) to create the actual Windows installer (e.g. setup.exe). This does what you want and was very easy to set up. -Larry Bates -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

According to the Python wiki, freeze is for making executables for Unix. Can I make an executable with just the standard distribution, or do I need a separate module? Thanks. You didn't ask about an installer, but I thought I'd make the suggestion anyway. The combination of py2exe and Inno Installer works EXTREMELY well for distributing software on Windows platform. Use py2exe to create .exe and support files, use Inno to wrap it up into a neat single setup.exe file for distribution. -Larry Bates -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That's definitely something I would ask about eventually, so I'll check that one out too! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
