Packaging?

Particularly in Windows, how do create installation packages for
python scripts? I've noticed that PyOpenGL and PyGame use a pretty
nice installer, and some games I've seen install and run without even
needing python installed. How is this done?

First you need to create an executable, which gets around the need for a
separate python installation -
check out py2exe:
starship.python .net/crew/theller/py2exe/

For an easy and free installer try Inno Setup:

Here is the problem: I'm trying to execute a batch file containing this command and I'm running into a couple of errors. Here is the contents of the batch file: ...

Hey, I have spent several days trying to find out how to do something, and i don't know if I am blind or what, but I can not find it. I am developing a web app and I need it to run an activex control. I have developed the control and it runs great on my development system (VS2005, C#, IE6, Win2000Pro, output is a DLL) because as far as I can tell, the IDE registers the DLL. The problem is packaging it so it registers itself on any...

I'm now wondering where this type of thing is best addressed in more general terms. What I usually see happening, in projects I've worked on and in others, is that developers get the code working on their own computers, using source control...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
