Anyone knows good FREE setup maker (not PDW)?

I need good, easy to use setup maker which gives me few options and when compiled it makes one self-extracting EXE

Thank You

You could use Microsoft's Visual Installer ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/do...i/download.asp ). I have used it for all of my most recent apps. It gives you WAAAY more control over the setup program than PDW does.

One of the best 'free' installers that I've found is 'Freeman Installer' from http://netnet.net/~freeman/ - it has all kinds of features (even a kind-of scripting language built in) and lets you customise just about every step of the installation procedure.

Be warned though, it's mainly aimed at C/C++ developers and if I remember correctly, doesn't handle dependancies (at least, not as well as PDW).

I have downloaded the VSI
Package I made is running fine in my machine.
If i am trying in other PC it is giving error
correct version of MDAC_TYP is not found.

Well then you need to run mdac_typ.exe and probably dcom9x.exe

Crazy D @ Work :-)

you shouldn't need a DCOM installation on an NT machine. DCOM is part of NT (4)
