Does anyone know if there is any inexpensive and easy to use installer
to install Excel application on other's computer?

Do you mean you have an Excel workbook that needs to "installed" ?
Does this mean it requires certain components/references to be present on
the user's machine ?

That is right, Nick. Any idea?

I would recommend NSIS. It has a very complete, easy to learn language
for scripting installations. The documentation is quite good (lots of
examples) and there is an active forum.

I posted an example script for installing an Excel Add-In in this
newsgroup earlier this year.

Thanks Dave. Looks like a good program. I cannot see the price. Is
it free?

By the way, can this program automatically picks up the
components/objects that are used in the Excel application and package
them into the installer?
Also, will it install these components/objects on the user's PC?

I use INNO to install a quite complex add-in, including 2 other .xla files
and a number of .dll files.
Works very well and it is free. Help is a bit sparse, but everything is
there.
Good newsgroup where questions usually are answered quickly.

Yes, this is a Superb newsgroup.

Could you send me the file that you create the add-in installer? This
might be what I need. Thank you in advanced.

NSIS has nice interface though.

It's quite a complex installer, but it might be some help to you.
Will send the file when I am back home.
