Installer installation training
I need to create an installer for our program and don't know where to start. It's not much technology (NSIS tutorials seem to explain very well how to do things, if you already know what you need to do) as steps. So I guess I am following something like "basic steps to install the program".

The installer is nothing more than a program that copies many files to some folders and creates an entry in Add or Remove Applications, Start, etc. At least this is the simplest case. If you have more steps, such as configuring ini files, verifying a license key, creating a SQL Server database, etc., you need to know the exact deployment steps required for your application. After you write these steps, you need to think about how to implement them using your installer tools. This feature may be present out of the box, or you may need to write an application script or even supply a command line.
The best way to find out is to get your hands dirty and do some installers with setup tools like Wix, NSIS, Inno Setup, etc.
