Installer for multiple executables

[fede071]

Hello,

The application I would like to create an installer for contains multiple executables.

The entry point is an Electron app. From the Electron app the user can start 5 executables and open them in the browser as localhost.

With InstallBuilder can I install package multiple executables, install them in the app folder, e.g. on Windows in “C:\Program Files (x86)\App_name”, and create a single desktop shortcut to the app that is used as entry point?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @fede071,

You can unpack the executables in separate folders or even create a different component per app and then use a <desktopShortcutList> to create the shortcuts:

Would that work for you?

Hi @michieldhont_ 

Thank you, the link you provided looks good. Right now, I am only in an exploration phase for different installer options, so I am currently not able to mark your answer as correct or not. If I take InstallBuilder I will surely try it out!
