Hello, We have tried the following in the past and seemed to work ok...with some work though. See if it fits you.
1) Use bbfreeze to freeze all your dependencies in one folder 2) Use InnoSetup to create a setup 3) distribute the setup. This will create a single installable distribution for your customers. The first step is the hardest. We used bbfreeze because it worked across Windows and MacOsX. InnoSetup is Windows only. you can also use UPX to compress your bbfrozen stuff. Dont use it after the setup is created. With some effort you can also make the setup such that your UPXed executables/DLLs are restored just after they are installed. This is because UPXed DLLs cannot really be shared across the OS and so at runtime each new instance is a new one. That becomes memory heavy. Hope you get the gist. If not, send me an email.
