I've made a auto-installer for my Nihil Trilogy: Awakening module with C++, and I hope to use it in the next two parts of my trilogy. Its purpose is to install both the .mod and the .hak file to their corresponding module and hak folders. It works as expected but it's not as efficient as I would like. If one is experienced in this field, I would like your advice.

Right now it is compressed as a .rar and includes: the .exe file, directions, and a folder containing the .mod and the .hak.

My main goal is to make it all into one single .exe file so it doesn't have to be decompressed. If anyone knows how to do that I would appreciate your help?

I have no programming advice to give on this. But as a Mac user I would suggest that a Windows-specific install process is going to prevent Mac users from being able to play your module unless you also provide alternative directions for them.

I can try an alternate version with java using Unix commands, so it can work with macs, but don't worry in any case I'll still include the separate files for a manual installation.
