I would like a better, and more secure, way to package some software I sell. Preferably id like to be able to take the 5 or 6 files i have and wrap them inside an install program that has the ability to have registration keys, that way i just sell registration keys and keep track of them in a DB. Anyone know of a relatively cheap product to do this?

Thanks

I don't remember how much InstallShield costs but you could use that, if you're selling any decent amount of your software at a decent price you should make up the InstallShield cost quickly =)

Install Shield comes with VC++ packages (5.0 & 6.0)

There is a more robust (bells & whistles) version that can be purchased.

Do a Web search for the topic and you should come up with four or five others options.
