Question : Embedding an msi and other commands into a new exe
I have a small program that I have customers install on their computers so I can remote in to help them. I would like to create an easier way for them, ie buttons they click and it will do the rest of the connecting for them. I am wondering if there is a way to create a new exe that will have my current exe embedded in it, and after it installs that, it will copy over a small agent file that the customer will use for one click connecting(basicaly will call the program I installed). I need it to be very easy for my customer, so I can;t have them downlaoding a zip file, extracting, then installing the program and copying the other file. I need one file that can do all the work. How can I accomplish this? The current file that I have them install is an msi file. I will create the other. I have even thoguht about an activex script, but don't know how hard that is to create.
Answer : Embedding an msi and other commands into a new exe
If you pack your installation with winzip or winrar, make it self-extracting archive, and look at the available SFX options, quite likely this is all you need. If not, I would look at
