1-Click Installer


With the increasing popularity of portable software as well as single EXE file software (for example Process Explorer) there appears to be a need for a 1-click installer.

1-click installer will merely add a new context menu item to the Windows Explorer called "1-click install" for EXE files. Clicking it will copy the EXE file into C:\Program Files\ (or whatever path is set in the registry) and create a start-menu item with the same name. Two simple operations, which can be easily automatized.

It may need to be working on folders as well. In this case the whole folder will be copied and the shortcut should be created to the largest EXE file in that folder?
