How do I Create a single install file from the Package and Deployment Wizard?

Ok. Everytime I use the package and deployment wizard to create my install package, it creates a .exe, a .cab, and a .lst file.

I only want a single file, AppName_Installer.exe How can I get this result?

Call me a stupid noob or whatever, just be sure to include in your insult how to create the single file installer. I need a single file that I can send out to my company for each user to install. If I try to send two or three files, I can just imagine how many errors I am going to get emails and calls about.
Thanks in advance.

One way is to use something like the winzip self-extractor which puta an exe wrapper around files.

For VB6 I use the visual studio installer, which creates msi installers in a single .exe file. There are a number of other installer creators available, both free and fee.

I know it sounds stupid, but you can always make your own one. You can use the resource manager to store files inside a vb project (ie your installer), then use your own code to extract them.

It depends how personalized you want the installation to be. What Doug said is great when you simply have a few EXEs and DLLs that need extracting/registering, but when you move onto programs that have databases that need user-specific data entered into them upon installation, then you may want to make your own installation app.
