creation of installable file

[brent99]

But what does Qt have to do with this? Use a regular installer creator, like the one here: http://nsis.sourceforge.net

I appreciate your answer because I had the same question, but it would have been nicer just to say, "Qt doesn't have an installation package builder, but you can use this program on sourceforge." The question clearly was a reasonable QT question to those of us trying to build and distribute complete applications using QT.

The reason for me being "upset" with such questions is that people treat Qt as some special entity encapsulating the whole universe whereas it is just a set of programmer's libraries. You can use every method in every context allowed to be used with any C++ (or Java or Python or whatever other language you use with Qt) application. Sorry if I felt mean, it's just another case of "Qt is not a programming language" section.

I think we have to get that into the FAQ or something...
