Thanks for your help on this.  With a bit more trial and error (actually quite a bit) I was able to figure out how to do what I needed.  I'm fine with having two seperate files served on the snowmobile club's website (they're small files anyway) for the MAC and Windows versions.  I need to be able to upload a single file for each of them and I'm not sure how to make that happen for the MAC version.  I don't have a MAC but I have a friend who has one and is familiar with building web-sites so I'll check with him first.

Also, one of the reasons I chose to use INNOSetup and the gmapi version of the installer is that earlier in the post there was some concern that the registry installation system might get phased out by GARMIN.  If that happens, will there be a new version of the cGPSmapper software?  I might be wrong but if GARMIN makes it so the registry installed maps don't work then cGPSmapper would stop working and the current process of using cGPSmapper followed by MapConverter to get the files and folder structure needed for the gmapi installation wouldn't work either.  Is there an update to cGPSmapper in the works to possibly compile the maps directly into a gmapi structure?

I'm new to this process.  I've recently created my first map and sent it to my father using the INNO setup script that Boyd provided in this thread.  It left me with a question that I'm having trouble figuring out on my own.  Is there any way with INNO script to make it so that the gmap folder is bundled in the windows exe file so that I could simply put the single file on my ftp site for my father to download?  I only need the windows version but I chose to use INNO setup because I already had the software and couldn't find the NSIS compiler to download, plus, I saw that there is some concern that Garmin might go farther in the direction of the gmap installation system so I didn't want to have to change later.

The project is to make routable snowmobile trail maps for the Lake Louise Snowmachine Club in Alaska.  I'm fine making the maps, I've got routing working and everything but now we need to be able to allow club members to download the maps and install them in Mapsource and most of them are barely computer literate so I need to make it as simple as possible for the end user.

My ultimate goal is to have one file that the end user downloads giving them an EXE file to double click and that would do it all.  No WIN-rar or WIN-zip or anything else as they may not have the software or know how to use it properly.  Also, the map is very small (only about 5MB) so it doesn't need to be compressed anyway.  Does anybody know how I can get INNO to hold all the source files that it needs so that the end user only has one button to double click and it would install just like most other software that can be purchased?

Thanks
