Need create installer

[mistral]

I have a big setup application that consist from setup.exe file and
various linked setup files
extracted from SFX CAB archive, installer file version: 2.11.15.0,
stub32i.exe.( I extracted files from this archive with WinZip). For
more convenience (more handy distribution application on CD), I want
pack files back into same installer. What installer is required for
this task? The only difference is, I dont want that installer do any
additional tasks that installers usually do, i.e. checking registry, or
writing to registry, modifying system settings. I need only extract
files and run 'Setup.exe' file. What installer is suitable for this?
Is there an advantages of using unpacked setup against standalone
installer pack?

WinZIp comes with a sfx maker but i think WinRar will be better for this. Heres how
to do it :
0. Run WinRar
1. Browse to the folder and select the files/folder that you want to include in Setup.
2. Press [Alt+A]
3. Under "Archiving options", tick "Create SFX archive".
4. Set "Compression" etc. as you like..
5. Advanced tab, click "SFX optipns"
6. Dont touch "Path to Extract" box but under "Setup" in "Run after extraction", type
the name of setup like : setup.exe Or if the setup is in folder then :
folderName\Setup.exe
7. Modes tab, Tick "Unpack to Temporary folder". (You can enter Optional question if
you want)
8. Under "Silent Mode" :
[Display all] = You will see a dialog with "Install" button. After pressing
Install, the
Winrar sfx will extract files to temp folder then run the
Setup.exe file.
[Hide Start Dialog] = The SFX will show you the progress of extracting files (it
will not
prompt you before extracting)
[Hide all] = SFX will extract files in background and then run Setup.exe
9. Text and Icon tab (All options except icon are useless if Hide All is selected in
Modes tab) :
[Title of SFX window] : Title of dialog
[Text of SFX window] : Text (you can use HTML here) , e.g. Press Install button
to extract files

and start setup.
[Load SFX logo from the file] : Logo (that appears on left of SFX window)
[Load SFX icon from the file] : Icon of exe file
10. Click OK > OK
