Hey guys I searched through the forums and couldn't come up with anything. I am trying to figure out how to make my Add-ons into a auto installer. Any ideas?

Click Team Install Creator has a freeware option and does the job reliable.
It can search the registry for your FS path and install your stuff accordingly.
You can also choose wether the user can change the install path or not.

You can also zip o rar it, and then make an SFX, then whit just a double click it will be extracted to the folder of your choice

I use NSIS, it's free, but tricky to use.

I wish people would not use auto installers, I cannot count the amount of times I have trusted them and it has been poorly done and screws something up or overwrites something important. I am in the habit now with non-payware installs of installing such things into a fake FS9 or FSx then dragging the files to the correct place.
