Creating an bundled installation package


Recommended Posts

Hopefully I didn't post in the wrong category, otherwise excuse me, it's difficult to place this.

I'm looking for a program to compile other software bundles (nero,winamp,msn,...) to 1 installation file where I can chose what to install.

I tried NSIS but that's to complicated, a couple of years ago, I had a GUI installation builder, somebody knows some names?

thx!

thx for the reply's,

what I'm searching for is a tool to make a bundle of programs, so I can chose during the installation what programs to install. I tried the installation of setup factory 7.0 but it only copies the installation files but does not install them.

I'll try adminstudio...

ps: I found autopatcher xp, and I can add programs and stuff but it doesn't work on sp2 :wacko:

use an command-line-style batch file, or use runonceex (more regustry based) I use the batch file thing when installing apps whenever i need to reinstall windows:

@echo off

echo.
echo Installing Microsoft Office 2003 Professional
echo Word 2003, Excel 2003, Powerpoint 2003, Infopath 2003
