Release Question

[timstspry]

😉 I was wondering if there was a release that I could build that would truly result in a single .exe file? I have tried all different kinds of builds/releases and have not been able to find one where everything required to run setup.exe is actually included in the setup.exe that is created. Right now I am using Network Install which has resulted in a directory named Disk1 being created which does contain a setup.exe. However, the size of the setup.exe is quite small and if I don't copy the entire directory of Disk1 to the target computer, setup.exe does not work.

What I am looking for is a completely self-contained setup.exe that can be copied to the target computer and executed successfully without copying any directories or other supporting files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you can create isolated setup.exe as steps below:

1. Open "Release Wizard..." on InstallShield 2008.
2. Go next to "Media Type", and select "Network Image"(1.jpg).
3. Go next to "Release Configuration", and select "Compress all files"(2.jpg).
4. Go next to "Window Installer Location", and select "Extract Engine from Setup.exe"(3.jpg).

Hope that this is useful for you.
