Saving Pre-Determined Files

Unity Engine
1

Good Evening All.

First of all, by pre-determined files, I mean like a Unity build, so an exe file and a folder.
What I would like to be able to do, is build a game installer inside Unity itself, so this smaller Unity-powered app will install the full game to a location specified in the installer.

I am aware of how to save files in the Unity Editor, something I had to do to generate my save and setting files, but the method of saving non-created files from a build to a dynamic location seems to be a bit harder.

Has anyone ever had to do this before, and where is the best place to have these files stored, in the installer (would increase the installer file size considerably) or online?

There are free tools to create installers online. Don’t make an installer by hand, it’ll likely be seen as a virus. Making an installer in Unity also sounds like a sure-fire way to frustrate yourself into submission.

I am well aware of this, I am not looking for a generic solution, I am asking for a way to save or place files in a location.
