Build installation package help?

[pctechtv]

I have recently started learning C++. It is going very well, and I am enjoying it. As I am learning, I would like to start experimenting with C++ hopefully doing useful stuff that it does well. I have a database (FileMaker) that has some dependencies. What I mean is every time I set it up on a computer I have to create directories with dependent files. I have to install some packages like ImageMagick, GhostScript, and mtn (these are installs via exe files). I imagine that all of these dependent things can be in one package. The package I would build would make an install to save time and automate the tasks. Can anyone suggest info or guides to accomplish a task like this in C++. I can work with it from the command line or Visual Basic, or even on my Mac in Xcode. Thanks

To be honest, it would be easier with an installer like Nullsoft Scriptable Install System - Wikipedia

MoveFile File Management Functions (Windows)
CreateDirectory Directory Management Functions (Windows)

it would be easier

Thanks this is nice learn about. I like apps like this cool. I am more interested in trying things in C++ than getting things done easy. I will try to learn more about the classes you linked to. They are helpful. Thanks
