How can I create a setup file in C?

Question

I am going to make a simple desktop application in C. I have already done entire program in C, but I don't know how to convert this program into setup file.

While we are clicking on any setup file and installing any software/application on our system, this is type of setup file I want to crate.

So when I click on my setup file, it has to be installed on my system for lifetime.

Please give me any suggestion/help.

Instead of messing with C to create a setup package, you should take advantage of the tools that are already released. Inno Setup will give you full power over your files and installation and you can use it to deploy packages and install applications.
