If you have an .exe file (or really any file) you've made or not, and you want to make an installation to it. The process is easy and quick, just the tutorial is very detailed. This works on Windows Only.
Steps
- Go to your "Run" menu and write iexpress.exe. The run menu can be found in the Start menu.
- A wizard menu should pop up. If you have a .SED file, pick "Open existing SED", but because this is probably your first time with this, pick the top option, then "Next".
- On the 2nd menu, you need to pick what will happen after the user done installing.
- If you want the files will be extracted to a folder the installation makes, check the first option, and click on "Next".
- If you want the installation file only to be installed, check the middle option, and click on "Next".
- Do NOT pick the third option. It will make a CAB file, not an installation file.
- Pick a title for your installation. This will be the file name for the installation, but you can also see it on the Title Bar (The blue bar above programs), and click on "Next".
- Now pick the prompt. This asks the user if it's sure if it wants to install the program.
- If you want that feature, pick the last option, what will it ask, and click on "Next".
- If you don't want that feature, and the installation starts right away, pick the first option, and click on "Next".
- Now pick if you want the user to agree a license. This must be a .txt file.
- If you don't want a license, pick the first option and click on "Next".
- If you do want to add a license, pick the second option, pick the file and click on "Next".
- Now pick the files you want to install. Click "Add" to add a file. If you want to erase I file you've uploaded, click it to highlight it and click on "Remove". After doing so, click on "Next".
- Now pick the size of the installation itself. This is all up to you and your preferences.
- If you want the size will be in about the size of an error message, pick the first option and then click on "Next".
- If you want the window to be behind everything, pick the second option and then click on "Next".
- If you want the size will be small, pick the third option and then click on "Next".
- If you want a full screen installation, pick the last option and then click on "Next".
- Now you can pick a finishing message to top it all up. Messages that pop up after the installation ended, like "Thanks!", "Installation Completed, You may exit" or even "Visit my website!".
- Now pick where the installation file itself will be at. This is where the final product will be saved at your computer, to send it to others or to upload. Click next, and go through the finishing notes.
- A CMD menu will pop up - Don't close it! It loads the files to the installation, as well as creates the installation.
Warnings
- Installation file might not work or crash on old computers, Mac and/or Linux.
- Do not put too much files to install, or a very large file (such as a 1GB game). The installation wizard might crash, as well as the installation itself.
