How To make game installer ?
Hello ! Im trying to make a PC game and i need a installer,but i want to design the installer. Please Help me ! ! !
Why do you need an installer?
Personally I never was in need of an installer and I actually don't like when "simple" programs always have an installer.
I prefer software that comes in a zip archive :)
Unless you have other installation tasks than copying files you don't really need an installer
the installer is better than zip zrchive and i want installer ! Its best for me !
$$anonymous$$any digital sale portals require an installer.

Be more specific. If you're talking specifically about windows, try http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page
If you want a 'cross platform' solution you may want to try packing your game using cmake, but it is more complex http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators

.zip files are best for freeware. It's easy to make, easy to give, and makes the file a tad bit more compact.
For Pay to play, I'm pretty sure your publisher can handle that :\ If your indie, you can have them pay you in PayPal or something, then give them a code or something, like Minecraft does, but other than that I don't really know :(
Game Installer! For PC, use WiX, it's your best chance, for Mac, its already integrated. I don't know about Linux.
Oh well, good luck :)
