如何制作安装程序EXE / MSI文件（用于php文件）

Question

Well I have two php files

db_config.php
index.php

with certain code.

To do

• I want to make an installer file, which should zip these two php files in an exe or msi file.

• and whenever user execute my installer file, it should extract my files to the specified folder on the pc.

• also it should look like user is installing an software solution, i.e it should have some instruction, next button, back button, cancel button and a browse button to specify the installation location. (as you have experienced during a normal software installation )

NSIS is a great Open Source tool for installing software. From the website:

NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a professional open source system to create Windows installers. It is designed to be as small and flexible as possible and is therefore very suitable for internet distribution.

...

NSIS is script-based and allows you to create the logic to handle even the most complex installation tasks. Many plug-ins and scripts are already available: you can create web installers, communicate with Windows and other software components, install or update shared components and more.
