Distribution as an executable installer

Nak
Hi there,

Suprise suprise, Tucows don't want my application because it's not in a
ZIP or EXE file. Hmmm, do they actually know anything about computers I ask
myself?

My installer is as an MSI file. So now I will have to somehow change it
to an EXE installer. But my understanding is that if I make an EXE
installer within a setup project I also have to distribute a cab file with
it (as well as some other files?).

Would I be correct in saying this? Or is there a way to distribute as
an executable installer without having to resort to a 3rd party product?

As usual, thanks loads in advance!

Nick.
