Create it yourself?

Requirements:
Winrar
A brain (lawl)
And the file you want to extract
---

Create a archive file or select a file for which you want to create installer.
Right click on it and go to “Add Files to archives“
It will open a window where you need to check the option “Create SFX Archive”


Then Goto Advanced tab of same window and Click on SFX Options button.
On clicking, it will popup another window which gives you an extensive set of options to customize your installer.
Customize Basic Installer :
General : This asks you for the path where the installer will de-compress files to. You can even choose to run a program ( which could be a music file or something else).


Advanced: This options is essential if you are continuously upgrading your software and clients need an update.
You can delete older files before the installer is initialized.
You can create shortcuts to desktop or start menu, Start menu/ Programs or even startup. You can even pass some optional parameter if your software requires it.


Modes: These modes are specially require if you need to keep the client in mind. Here you can set
If it has to use temporary folder
Do a silent installation without asking
Overwrite options – Complete, ask or skip.


Text and Icon : Now if you are creating a professional installer you need to add Title images and text so people don’t thinks its a spam. Check the image.


License: You can even add your own license to give it a final touch of professionalism. This can be useful if you don’t want others to take away your rights.

I can make a self-extractor with a (.exe) file extension in WinRAR. It's quite easy actually. If that's what you mean with this thread user macymagiska112.

By the way I wasn't able to follow that link.
So I used a world wide proxy service to be able to reach it.

I'm going to begin learning at a art school, so lol I guess I could help you.

Well, it is the off-topic section and you aren't supposed to act like a mod. Oh, by the way, the mods and admins of the site is to decide what posts are eligable or not.

This installer you made contained excessive trolls, and uhm poor graphics I know you can do better.
Although thanks for the installer I guess... but I already have it, it's called WinRAR, so it was not really useful to post this one, obviously.

But could you tell me how exactly you put the images in the application?
