Paquet Builder, SFX MakerBuild Self-Extracting packages easily

All of these features remain optional, i.e. you do not need to configure them in order to build your packages. Creating a simple package actually takes less than one minute: start a new project, add files and press Build, that's all. Then you can always modify other options later.

 What is a Self-Extracting distribution?

A Self-Extracting distribution is a single stand-alone executable program (package) that contains compressed files and allows them to be extracted without requiring any other utility: it contains the code required to unpack these files. You just need to run it in order to get your files again.
