Suggestions for deployment best practices


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

In the past, i've used InnoSetup to bundle all the files and directories LabView puts in the "Volume" directory into one easily distributable file that we send to customers via FTP or USB stick.

InnoSetup even lets you skin the installer dialog windows for a really pro look. thumbup1.gif This is all well and good, but the down side is that I'm using this install tool to create what's essentially a fancy self-extracting executable. Microsoft's MSDN calls this a "concurrent installation" and both of these installers actually show up in the add/remove program window which i really don't like.

How does everybody else distribute installation files? I'm trying to change my distro method due to Win 7 and don't really like what i've been doing.

Any suggestions would be welcome...
