Subject: [Qt-interest] [Windows] installation file once application is working 

When you install a program on Windows you normally just have a .exe or 
.msi file that you click on to install. 

Currently, while shipping our program out we're just sending a CD with 
the .exe and the requisite DLLs and having them copied to a directory on 
the installation machine. 

This is obviously a bit poor and I Would like to give a more standard 
type of install. 

Is there a program you can run to create an install file? 

I assume that an installer would know what DLLs are necessary to run a 
program and then install the required files that, presumably, would be 
all shipped within the installation file? 

I have a sort of understanding of how this is done on Linux where you 
create things like RPMs that take care of dependencies and assume 
Windows must work in a similar, if not the same way. 

Thanks!
