There are tons of installers out there...

The best thing you can do is look for the one that fits your needs the best way:

- Innosetup[^].
- Installshield[^].
- ...

Once you've got the installer, then you will need only to store the data as you've always done in the CDROM... This is the easiest part...

I'm using here CDBurnerXP[^].

Good luck! :rose:

innosetup is easy but remove/modify/repair options are not shown in this package

I don't know what you mean, but in any case... those are new requirements.

think he means remove (which would be through windows uninstall, so it is included), modify installation, or repair installation... only one I know it has for sure is uninstall... my 5 for your answer
