The individual setups to be extracted should be extracted on an on-demand basis, so not all embedded setups are extracted during program start.The self-extracting installer should run on Windows 2000 and higher OS versions, and should be entirely UNICODE.The compression format should be a standard format.The individual setups should be stored in a compressed format in the self-extracting installer.I came up with the following requirements for the solution to this problem: Having all relevant setups for each component combined in one big self-extracting installer with a user interface that allows for the selection of an individual component would be the ideal solution for this problem. If each of those components has a separate setup program or an MSI file that customers have to download, this is soon going to be tedious for the customer. Consider a company that ships a product suite that is made up of different components like a server installation, a client installation, an administrative installation, and a command line tools installation. I recently ran into a problem where I required a self-extracting installer that would allow customers to download one single huge file in order for them to choose from a variety of setups or associated documents, like readme files or release notes.
