Hi again, It's me, the C++ fatal n00b :(

I was wondering about something. I just completed a program in Visual C++ 2008, and I need some way of the user installing it with Windows Installer. (I need a setup file that's able to install into program files, add desktop shortcut, quicklaunch etc.) I, being a total noob at C++, have no idea how to do this.

Any help?

Thanks in advance

Do you mean deployment?

Here's another thread on the subject.

What version of VS are you using, because I'm not sure if these solutions will work on the Express-version

Qsetup,Inno Setup,NSIS are few Installation Tools for Windows.

niek_e,

Actually, I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, cause if you look on Microsoft.com, Express Edition is the only one available :(
