I have Windows and I compile for Windows, Mac and Linux.
I have currently no opportunity to try the software on Linux and Mac, but in Windows.
I think an installer would be good!
Because, when I compile the software, there are no errors. But when downloading from the site and unwrapping the .zip -file, then the computer are very suspicious…
I don’t think that’s a user friendly behaviour!
So! What installers do you use and are these expensive!?
Also, is an installer the issue here…??
I’ve deployed many Xojo applications with Inno Setup on Windows.
It is free, easy to use and gets the job done reliably each time.

Not too sure about installer options for Mac and Linux though.
Windows users expect an installer, and Smart Screen will consider naked exe as installer otherwise and request authorization.
You also need to digitally sign both the exe and the installer to avoid the system to tell users your software is potentially dangerous. See http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/
On Mac, unless you need to install drivers or low level files, the usual distribution is through a DMG file image, and users are accustomed to drag the .app to the Applications folder.

Did you get a dialog telling you that the developer is unknow ?
(something like that)
If so, it is a normal behavior. To avoid that, you have to sign your software. I let people with more knowledge on this to explain a bit more (so I will not wrote wong things).

Here’s a superb guide!!
I’ll skip the Mac and Linux users for now. There are no such users… not in this moment. Initially!
But the DMG file would be fairly easy to do… I assume!! 
Thank you one more time!! Great!!
Michael!
Thank you for this information!
I’ll consider this in the future!
I truly believe such registration will be a great help!
Are you already using a dmg for the Mac? There was a lovely discussion about different dmg creator apps a while ago. Also discussed was the need to additionally sign the dmg file for Sierra.
I’ve found Install Creator (Regular and Pro) to be excellent and easy to use.
Paul, I’m intrigued by the comment in your slides that Inno Setup can use Wine on OSX. I’m interested in automating my build process on OSX to output an installer for my Windows version.
Can Inno on Wine be automated/controlled from a Xojo IDEscript on OSX? Or is there another way to fully automate this?
