[Qt-interest] Creation of installation package for QT project ?

[Patric]

Thank you very much, Mike. :)
I actually already wrote the script for inno setup, and I think it'll 
satisfy my needs for the moments. A friend of mine recommended it. But next 
time when I must create an installation I'll consider using Null Soft.

Best regards,
Patric
