Do you have a portable program and want to turn it into a professional installer?
Are you looking for methods that work that will allow you to create a "Setup.exe"
in minutes? Here is THREE methods Free !

As you know, nowadays we often use the installers, Why ?

Imagine with me that you have a program made up of several files, and you want to
transmit them to one person, it will be unnecessary to compress them in a ZIP file
and send it to people!

INSTALL
Free Browser Extension

An installation or installer allows developers to assist the user during installation, to

push him to accept a license or to purchase the paid version of the program.

And for that ... there are several tools allowing to create installers! But most of these
tools are either paid or very difficult to use.

And that's why I thought of making this tutorial to show you how to make an
"installer" free of charge via WinRAR, IEXPRESS et InstallCreator.

NOW,
YOU MAKE
THE CALL.

Hi Soufiane!

I am not a developer, but this tutorial has a question that I was wondering. It satisfies my
curiosity.
Although at the end of my test windows say can't find the executable of the software I used.
