When deploying a ready to use erlang application I don't want the user to
I have a couple of ideas of what could be a way but I would like to get some input.
On the Windows platform you normally start Erlang/OTP from the start menu. You can also enter the command erl or werl from a DOS box or Command box. Note that starting with erl will give you a more primitive Erlang shell than if you start with werl , see the werl reference manual for details.
Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging.
SAE (stand-alone Erlang) used to be a pretty good solution for situations like you describe, but that no longer seems to be maintained.
Although I've never used it myself, CEAN seems like it might come close to what you want: it offers a self-extracting installer (though not for Windows at present) and the option to deliver a customized minimal Erlang framework.
