I used setup factory and the output file was setup.exe
If i was to put the name of the game it would sound more stupid because
seasons.exe looked more like an executable.
If the setup was going to be a .msi i would put it seasons.msi
If i was to put it in a .zip package it would be stupid because
that zip was going to have the setup.exe inside
Either way, I got no idea how to change the name at all
If I change it now, I would have to change all the links directing to it
Although, I truly understand your meaning and I would feel the same
Ugh. Don't name it setup.exe.
That is lame.
Name it the title of your game, so people will know what it is.
As for the game itself, sorry, I hate files named setup.exe for no good reason, so I didn't get it.
There's actually a reason they're named setup.exe. Windows treats files with the word "setup" in them specially so they can be handled appropriately by the install manager.
Don't hate, just deal.
Could it be called "Seasons Setup.exe" and windows would still handle it appropriately while letting us know that it is the setup file for Seasons?
I believe so. I think as long as it has the word "setup" (and/or possibly "install/installer"?) in the string, it executes under a privileged installer status. I don't work on the installers at work, but I'm fairly close to the group that does, at least for our product. We were going through some growing pains recently changing install platforms and one of the reasons was because we didn't realize that the name of the installer actually makes a difference.
