InstallShield what to give to client

Question

I used InstallShield to create an installer for my project.

It included the following files (deeply nested in a file directory):

program files (folder),0x0409.ini, setup.exe, Setup.ini, applicationName.msi

Am I supposed to provide all these to the client and have him click the setup.exe button? or is there a nicer (easier) way to make it clear what the client needs to click?

I know you can just have the applicationName.msi, but why did they create a setup.exe program then?

Answer 1

Installshield creates a setup.exe if you have your project's Release configured to create one. Choose "no" under Releases | Setup.exe tab | Setup Launcher. Those other files you mention should not be needed by the client.
