    Default Suggestion for .exe installer?

    Not really directly related to modding, but since my mod is almost doen for early beta, any suggestion for .exe installer creator that's decent and doesn't have any adware/spyware in it? Preferably a freeware.

    I always just made a self-extracting RAR file.

    Some of the advantages of exe installers are that they can auto-run various files (or have the option to run them - to allow for setting up a mod for different versions for instance), and have info/agreement screens show up before install. For most stuff rars are fine, but for more complex mods a proper installer is a bit more robust.

    I suggest NSIS. It's very powerful, perhaps more then what you need. I used it to create the installer for the latin voicemod (by Shigawire).

    Thanks all!
    I downloaded Clickteam Installer Creator and NSIS and will try both.
