 Creating a self-extracting install or one click install
How do I create a self extracting installation?  I.E. a self extracting zip
file which will run setup.exe when unzipped. Using the P&D wizard?

I want to be able to add the resulting file as a hyperlink on my website.

Help appreciated.

Thanks, Paul.

You can download "WinZip Self-Extractor" from http://www.winzip.com To
register the copy it $49.  It works pretty good, I use it for all of my
distributions.
