Why do u need a setup file in the first place?

Do ur application has supporting files (dll,txt,mdb...) and u need a program to copy those files? Do u want to create shortcuts/program groups?

Anyway you can try, InstallShield that comes with VisualStudio...
You can also try Setup Specialist. This is really a good utility.

Mahesh

Download freeware innosetup in www.innosetup.com.
It's a great tool.

Do u mean a setup-programm that will install ur application,
or do u mean a file, where u can save ur application settings?
In the last case, handle the problem with .ini files. It is
simple to use...
Try:
ReadProfileString(...);
WriteProfileString(...);
ReadProfileInt(...);
WriteProfileInt(...);
