Where can I find a deployment utility program for my delphi projects. The thing is that I have been developing in Delhi for quite a while now (...and I really appreciate the easy of use of it all) and I was just thinking that instead of having to install the BDE each and every time on machines where the projects are supposed to run, why not have a deployment utility program bundling the project plus any needed dll or whatsoever into a cab file so that users may only launch the installation program and have the stuff up and running at the end?
If that program exists please let me know because right now I always have to create my demo programs in VB (which I do not particularly appreciate) and then go on with the real stuff in Delphi
 
Hello, Oppenheimer, Steve and Pieter,

Thanks for your enthousiasm about Inno'. Please joint the newsgroups that can be found, and searched, from the official website
Glad to be of any help, you now know why I am so fond of it, and for 2 years already s-)

Grtz,

TonHu, thanks for the information on this.

I am a new Delphi programmer getting away from VB 6 and ASP. I just downloaded the 150 mb installshield developer demo just to see all the bells and whistles and let me tell you it has some bells and whistles, but you might as well take a good amount of time working with install shield to get it to work which takes away from programming which is what I like to do.

I just downloaded inno setup and the is tool and in 20 minutes I had a fully functional install. Granted this was my first delphi program and it has only a couple of screens, but the inno install program rocks! It is very easy to use and user friendly. Nothing more is needed. On top of everything else it is free.
Thanks again for this great information
