But I have 2 Form projects, one of them (main project) will be installed and I've created a .msi for that, but another one I don't want install, its role is provide a custom dialog whith user and install Mysql in a specific path inside application folder, and before execute dialog form, I should search for Framework 3.5, after all, if Framework does not exist, Dialog Form can't be executed, since it was built on Framework 3.5, so I have .vbs for that. What I want is exactly what winrar SFX does. Merge all files in single .exe, and choose .vbi(or .vbi changed to .exe) as first ( and unique) open file, it searchs for framework, if that were installed, .vbi opens Dialog form, if not, install framework and, after that, open Dialog Form. However, I don't want allow user recognize that .exe is a .sfx, extract and see my files. How programs install like CorelDraw are done? Their installs seem to be a single .exe file.
