I would like to compile my software and have an installation file that includes the folders I use, the configuration .txt files and the plugin files. How should I do this? If I compile, I get an .exe file.

If you remove the code tags for non-code, your text would be better readable.

a) Post normal text.

b) Pretty please: give more information. Even if you aren’t speaking English using translation software now makes things way more easy.

c) Do a search on the forum. Your question was discussed multiple times. See [Windows Installer](https://forum.xojo.com/t/windows-installer/87582) from a couple of days ago.

Sorry, I copied and pasted from the translator, and now I don’t have the ability to edit the text.
