Create a setup.exe file without any dependent files

Question

I am a first time user of this group and so pardon me for any mistakes and unclear statements.

What I am trying to do is to create single setup.exe (not msi) using installshield. But when I build the project what I get is other files along with the .exe file for e.g. .cab, .hdr, .inx and other such files. I am using the options under Release -> Release Wizard -> General options-> Checked the "Create a single file executable" & "Compress compiled script" options but still I get the extra files along with the setup.exe file. I want a setup.exe file to be created independent of the other local files.

So could anyone suggest me how to achieve that.

Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks.

As Michael Urman wrote, you will find the one file in adjacent folder. The folder name is "Package".

Those files are always created for InstallScript projects. When you build a single file executable, the single file version that packages it all together is available in an adjacent folder.
