I wasnt sure where this goes, so i put this here...

can someone give me a tutorial on how to make an installer file (installer.exe)...

ivan

You can search google for some free utilities for automate making installers.
Or you can make your own with some GUI librairies.

Dameon

You have no doubt seen this one used a lot.

Or you could use Inno Setup, which is free and really easy to use.

im just trying to make it a little simpler for a user....there are like 10 exe's and i just want it to show one on the page...

ivan

Why not to put other exe's in a subfolder, for example data, or any other name... Or simple name your main app main.exe or place a shortcut on the desktop.

if you look at my other posts, i said that im having a problem with that.... if i make a file to go into, for example, ./files/main.exe, and then from "main.exe" i try to go to "main2.exe", my window automatically closes for some reason, so im stuck having all my files on one page.... but a desktop shortcut is not a bad idea... but im not sure what exactly the code is for this program to make an installer file...
