For a small C++ / Qt project I’d like to create an installer.
- Code written in Qt Creator
- Basically (when some Qt dlls have been added), a simple xcopy install is possible
- I could just pack (zip/rar) the files, but I want to “have a little installer feeling”
- There are no registry entries, etc.
- Code is for Win Desktop only, so no cross platform requirements
Basically the installer shall
- Ask for target dir
- Ask for license acceptance
- .. and install
From my perspective (as programmer) the installer should be easy to setup and learn. I’d be ideal if I could create it from within Qt Creator. Since it is for a non-commercial open source project the installer software has to be free (or at least very reasonable priced).
What would you recommend?
I have used this one long time ago

But now I use install shield but it has a lot of features you do not seem to need them and it’s license is about $2k
