Designing software?

What software would I need to design peices of software and then be able to put the program on disk and use something like InstallSheild to install my software on clients computer

Anyone have any Ideas??….

That’s a loaded question.

A) you need to pick a programming language like Java or C++

B) Download the correct development environment. JDK for Java, something like MS Visual Studio for C++ (C# now actually).

C) You need to pick an installer like MSI or InstallShield and set it up how you want.

It largely depends on what you want your software to do. You may be able to get away with simple scripts if you want to manipulate windows or Linux.

Java seems like the best bet for you if you want to make little applications because you really don’t need an installer for Java and it can be transported between platforms (the drawback is that the client would need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on his computer.

C is the most complicated to implement and seems to be a bit too involved for what you’d like to do.
