I am trying to create a setup.exe which basically acts as a self
extracting zip file. I have a number of excel files which have forms
and macros attached to them. When I build the setup project all seems
well, this is until I tested the setup. The files all seem to be put
into the correct directories on the targert computer but for some
unknown reason the excel files become corrupted and crash.
Can I create a cab file with the desired files and them create a
setup.exe which uses the cab file and if so how?

Regards
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

How are you creating the Setup.Exe?  What software are you using?
You may want to try the Visual Studio Installer software to build your
applicaton, and see if that assists you in making the project.

It will produce a msi file that you can pass to your users and have them
install.
You can find the Visual Studio Installer at

HTH.
