My Dear Stefan,

I want to create a self-extractor exe using InstallShield 11.

This self-extractor must extract files to temp folder, run the installed vbscript file from the temp, after installation we need to delete the installed files from the temp folder.

Is it possible in using Basic msi project or we need to go for install script project?

Can you guide me how to do this?

Thanks & Regards,
Kirankumar GT.

For the VBScript, create a custom action "stored in Binary table" which will extract the vbs temporarily.
For the self extracting exe in Relase Wizard select media type "web".
