if you have qbasic 4.5 it has a .bas to .exe feature
under the run menu....

you can make a .exe that runs as a complete file
or you can make a .exe that requires brun45.exe
to be included as a 2nd file with the .exe

for a FREE installation maker go to www.clickteam.com
the have a nice simple one for you to use.

i tried doing that. but it says i need brun45.exe and i couldn't find it. are there alternatives?

thanks

U could use a .bat file... But the thing you're actually asking is to run a file, which is the installer, and then remove it... you can't remove a program at running time... as long as it has not ended... it is still running... so still having to remove the file... is still running time... what you could do is make installer, which will install the file for e.g. game.exe
which will install the real thing... and then let your installer remove the game.exe-file

okay maybe i didnt word that right

when you go to the run menu to make a BAS an EXE
you'll have a popup come up thats gives you 2 choices

1. make an EXE that NEEDS brun45.exe

2. one that can be run WITHOUT anything else(standalone)


if you pick the first one you'll NEED to run the program
in the same directory as brun45.exe which should be
in your qbasic directory if you have version 4.5...

generally its just best to do number 2. then you dont have
to worry about it...


IF perchance you really dont have brun45.exe its on the net
you can find it and get it and put it in your qb area...or
go download somewhere a fresh version of qbasic 4.5(qb4.5)
it should have it with it...

uh qbasic.com has some compilers, that is if you don't have qbasic 4.5 or higher.

a great thanks to everyone who helped me. i finally accomplished it
