    You need to use an installation tool such as Innosetup.

    I like http://www.installjammer.com/.
    But if you google you will find many more.

    Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.

    Nullsoft Installer is also ok.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    You haven't mentioned for which platform you are developing, but you seem to be developing for various platforms. Personally, I would ditch QMake and use CMake/CPack insteak. CPack takes care of the packaging for you. It may take you some time to get up and running, but once you are then it's a breeze.

    Hi,

    I'm not really sure, what you're looking for. But if you want your application to have a nice installer, so that the average user can install it under windows, you could have a look hat NSIS:
    http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

    But there are plenty of other possibilities ...

    Hope that helps, Rainer
