Setup packages

Tarma QuickInstall can build two types of Setup packages:

Single Exe

Single-file self-extracting executables that contain everything that the customer needs in order to install your application: the installation files, the installation script, and the Setup program itself. With this option, you only have to distribute a single file to your customers, which makes it ideal for downloads over the Internet.

Plain Folder

Plain-file distributions that contain all installation files, the installation script, and the Setup program itself in uncompressed form. A plain-file distribution consists of a folder tree that must be distributed in its entirety. Therefore, this distribution format is primarily useful for CD-ROM distributions.

The whole process of creating the distribution package (a.k.a. the Setup package) is called "Building the project". Its main control center is the Build page; the command to remember is Project > Build. Or just hit the F7 key.
