.exe

[hammertime23]

How do you guys make .exe files? I would like to make one for my sgsm files and a few others. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I use ISTool and Inno Setup, they're pretty straightforward utilities.

if you mean like installers, just use any freeware installer you can find...its simple

jerry I would like to make a .exe file for people to get my files from my sgsm folder to theirs. Can you give me a link to a good one and a brief tutorial.

[jerry]

well...
yeah thats an installer...its pretty simple.
download the clickteam install creator here:
http://download.clickteam.com/webftp/fi ... icinst.exe
once you download it install it, and then run the install creator.
The first thing you will see is a wizard, this wizard will help you so click next.
Now here's the thing. If you are making a court patch like the practice gym what you could do is first goto your sgsm directory, copy the pgymstd.ebo and stuff files, make a new folder called *Your Patch Name* or whatever, and paste the files in there.
then in install creator where it asks you to locate the files, rowse for the folder.
Click next.
Since this is for nba live, it wll probably be in english, so leave it like that, and change the product name from "MyProduct" to like hammertime23 patch or somethin like that.
Next.
This doesnt really matter, I prefer to just leave it the way it is and go next.
this will ask you for the template...Again, it doesnt really matter. I never touch these things just in case i mess it up..so yeah just leave it and click next.
Here is where you can add like a readme sort of thing, and put like instructions and release date or whatever and email for suggestions and stuff like that.
NEXT.
Here you can put like copyright (c) 2006 hammertime23 or somethin like that.
NEXT.
If you want the files to go into the sgsm folder, replace #Program Files#\MyProduct with #Program Files#\EA SPORTS\NBA Live 06\sgsm\
if this goes into a subfolder such as the stadia folder or whatever, then put #Program Files#\EA SPORTS\NBA Live 06\sgsm\stadia\
NEXT.
again, leave this the way it is.
NEXT.
leave it.
NEXT.
I would keep the uninstall program box checked, but bla.
NEXT.
if you wanna make changes before you make the install program, check the do not make the install program box. otherwise, leave it unchecked and click finish. You will now be asked to save a .exe file. that will be the installer. ok you are done
