How to create a single exe installer
Hi
I've previously worked with Installshield 6. To create a single exe installer, I used "Package for the web 3.0". I could also add additional files in the package for web wizard, that would be extracted in SRCDIR, and I could use those files in the Installscript. I just started working with Installshield 2008 and was unable to find this feature in it. I created a InstallScript Project and when I compile it and build SINGLE_EXE_IMAGE, it creates numerous files like setup.exe, data1.cab etc. I was not able to locate any single Setup.exe.
I just want to know
1. How can these all files be bundled into a single exe.
2. How can I add additional files into that single exe, that would be extracted in SRCDIR when the installer is extracted.
Regards
Usman

Maybe ReleasePackager.exe would help. Here's some info:
