I have a few DOS games I own the rights to. I'd like to repackage them so that folks can play them easily on Windows - sort of like what I hear GOG has done with DOSBox. I'm wondering if there is any documentation on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Dave
GOG uses inno setup which is free.
Another free one is NSIS.
Documentation is included with each.
Ideally you'd use a DOSBox frontend like DBGL.
I prefer to use NSIS for my installers.

I do not have the rights to distribute the games, so users have to supply their own game media. It would be easier to pack the game files in the installer than what I do as you would not have to script for as many ways for the user to screw up or take into account multiple versions of the same game that require different handling.
