InstallAware

I am using the trail version of InstallAware 6.6 and it seems like a very good product. Being new to it though, I am still learning. After setting everything up in my project I have the "Compressed, single-file, self-extracting build EXE " option selected, but when testing the EXE created for the install it is looking for the support files, specifically, mai.lib (possibly others). When manually adding these file to the same directory as the built EXE, it works fine. It seems as though the build process is not creating a single file,EXE and that it still needs support files. Or, as is probably the case, I am doing something wrong.

This normally happens only when your trial version and your license file are out of sync. Since you state that you are using a trial version, it is possible that your InstallAware files became altered or damaged in some way, for instance if you applied an illegitimate patch (such as a crack) on top of your installation.
