    Anyone here familiar with making installer progs? I would like to make the first year of my website, Watch, downloadable and installable, if possible as a special on September 11, but I haven't the faintest idea on how to do it?

    Just a simple in/uninstaller function would be great, making it possible to access the archive for the whole year easily from your harddrive.

    Any ideas on programs/tutorials would be very much appreciated.

    Here's Watch btw:

    I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for Demiurg and since you're not in #3DSpotlight anymore I can't confirm anything, but if you want me to build a .msi windows installer file for you then I can. I own a legit copy of Wise Package Studio so you could get me the necessary files and give me info about how/what you'd like installed and I can build it for ya. Lemme know!

    For creating a single-file setup program that you can upload on your website you can use Actual installer.

    Two issues here;
    1. the webserver software (iis vs apache or anything else)
    2. the website content
    The latter is trivial to capture and/or restore using any archive tool (eg zip).
    Just be careful to understand the difference between WebRoot and DocRoot :)

    The former is where the Installer would be necessary.
