hello, this question has nothing to do with hise but as here there are pro you may be able to help me. how could i create an instal .exe and .dmg file in order to combine my vst and its samples in a single installation? for example I click on instal and the installation will simply place the vst in one place then the samples in the other. like any software .. it is possible?

For Windows, most people uses Inno Setup ( https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ). It is pretty customizable and there's a simple wizard to help you create your own installer.
For Mac, I've seen people using Packages ( http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html ).
Look up the documentation and you should learn quite fast how to create a package. -
@yall
There is a .zip file on the forum that shows you step by step how to build an installer for windows
-
Unless the sample content is really small (< 500mb) you don't want to include it with your installer, it will need to be separate.
-
@d-healey the sample size is approximately 10 gigabytes. I would like to put the samples directly in ch1 rather than the hr1 which requires a long manipulation.
-
@yall Just give your users the ch1 files and tell them to put them where they like, then they can point the plugin too the samples on first launch.

@d-healey yes i was thinking about that too but it's true that just an instal file would have been great. I will even try and if not actually I would put the samples ch1 and it will be even faster. Thank you
