I need to create an exe file that will load images and files to a certain
directory - how do I do this? Is there a cheap program for installation
that I could use?

Thanks

Directory on a local machine??

Try Inno setup compiler.

If you mean web based, you can't run an executable in a browser environment.

I need to send an html file and image files to a client and have it
automatically load on their local machine to a certain directory.

Don't use an .exe
- unless you buy and use a Windows compatible installer
- plus many emails programs will block .exe for security reasons

Create a WinZip file and send them the .zip file

zip it with WinZip and tell the client which directory to "unzip" it too.

Off topic. This is a networking/security question.

If the HTML file and image files are always the same,
create a setup program in Visual Studio, Install Shield,
or Wise Install, or WinZip, or ...

If the content of the HTML file or image files can vary
based on Web page input, you have a much tougher problem,
because you'll need to create and download the setup file
on the fly.

Are you sure you need these files to be on each visitor's
PC? Just offhand, it seems the application would be a lot
simpler if you implemented it totally on the server. Can
you provide more details about the application
requirements?

you don't necessarily need an executable (exe) file, you can do it with
scripting languages such as Perl, or ASP or PHP (these do 'execute' but they are
*not* exe files (you can open them in notepad and read them they are basically
plain text) or even Frontpage itself (using the file upload, depending on your
host supporting it of course.)

Sounds what you're after is an FTP program. In that case, have them provide you
with the server logon details and publish the pages with your ftp program, or
through frontpage publish feature.
