• Now you will see the Iexpress Wizard and after that you have to select the “Create new self extraction directive file” and after that you have to click on the Next button.
• Now after that it will show you the description of the final result and then you have to click on the next.
• After that you have to type the name of the installation file and then select the next button.
• Now after that you have to select the next again and if you want user to confirm the install package then select the second radio and after that click on the next.

This the exact things what I was looking for and after reading this steps I have tried that in my computer as I am also using windows XP operating system in my computer. Now with the help of your steps I have created one setup file just to check whether it is working or not and after that when I tried to run that setup file at that time it really worked. I don’t know why windows have hide this features. This may help lot of users who wants to create their own setups. Thank you for this.
