Exclamation Flexible setup program


Hi all,

I am using install shield to create my setup programs, which is quite rich in features and flexible. But sometimes it is quite a cumbersome and time consuming process to re-build the setup program, whenever any change takes place in your program. Does anybody have the idea, where need not re-build the setup program every time, rather it should refer a folder and copy the contents of that folder to client machine, without referring to internal list of files required every time.


Thanks in advance


Raj Dhawan

rajhawan,

That is not a good idea. You need to use some sort of an installer there are several that up use besides the one you use. Try Inno Setup you can find it in my signature.
