Hot on the heels of my installAPK utility to let you install APKs from your Windows desktop, I now have another neat trick... which allows developers to distribute APKs as Windows EXE files instead.
What do I need?
NSIS install system - http://nsis.sourceforge.net
APK2EXE (my suite) - http://shortun.com/3q
Your APK
What does the end user need?
The end user needs their device attached to their PC, with the appropriate drivers installed (which they can grab from http://android.modaco.com/usbdrivers).
How do I use it?
Follow these steps to create your executable!

Follow these steps to create your executable!
- Extract APK2EXE to a new directory
- Add your APK to the directory
- Doubleclick APK2EXE.NSI and edit the 3 lines containing information about your application.
- Right click the NSI file, and select 'Compile NSIS Script' - this will create your install EXE
- Test your installer!
