Hello,
Is there a special project or template where I can make an installer for my own program? It would play the role of installshield or unwise. I need to do is to copy my program files into a c:\Program Files\ subdirectory, and preferrably have it exist in the Control panel list of installed programs. I have to register some file types too in the registry, I aleady made a program that does that.

Would any of the Windows Installer Authoring Tools below is easily compatible with code::blocks and the Mingw compiler for the Windows XP and Vista targets? I would prefer low cost and free.

C::B 8.02 comes with nsis (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/) as installer.
It can (like most installers) edit the registry directly without the need of a self written program.

inno setup is really nice and easy to use too http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

Would be nice that the wx project wizard also offers to generate :
- a basic .iss file (Inno Setup)
- a basic nsis file
- a basic makefile (Linux)
- and the same thing under Mac OS (which I don't know).
Just a though...
