    Making an installable program

    I have compiled an executable, but as this is supposed to work with other
    files and installed at a specific directory, is there a set of directions on
    how to put all together so that the directory is created and the files are
    installed?
    Thank you in advance for your help

      Very, very rarely is that a good idea. Normally, you would let the user
      install your program where he/she wanted; your program can find out where
      using App.Path. For example,

      MsgBox "The user installed me at " & App.Path
