How to pack a mod??

[Spryte]

I'm kinda new to this, and was wondering how to pack everything you mod into one icon, or setup or wtv its called..

WinZip is good (or integrated .zip archiver with Windows)
WinRar is best as optimum familiar and popular.
Always make .zip or .rar with highest/best compression.
Pack only modded files.
Example installers are from Clickteam.

Well, I was planning to keep this to myself, but I found this page which can tell you how to make a self-extracting 7-zip archive.
Set up the folder so if you set it to extract to the root Soldat folder, the mod is extracted to Mods and a launching .bat file is extracted to the main Soldat folder. Make sure nothing is overwritten.

Also, don't pack thumbs.db files. They're annoying.

The thumbs.db is a file that winrar generates when you zip images, I think.

thumbs.db is generated by windows, and it's the thumbnails windows generates when you view a folder as thumbnails.
