    Hi Folks.

    Not sure I quite have the the right forum for this newbie question, so I apologize in advance.

    Very early days, but have been researching how to create a final package/installer for a Unity application/game for release on steam or a website?

    The build option in Unity ends up with (for example) myapp.exe and \myapp-data directory, but how do we create a single installer type package? Would I be correct to assume that it is done using a 3rd party tool that points to the exe and folder mentioned above?

    Regards.

    Yes. NSIS is probably a good place to start, and is the installer packaging we use for the Unity editor.
