Does any such thing exist?
In a manner of speaking.
You can put your save file(s) and your installer program (and a command
front-end for it) into a save file.
Suppose you have an installer program, that moves a previous version of
an application out of the way, processes one or more save files, and
(perhaps) sets some other things up.
You can adjust your installer program to expect both itself and its save
file(s) to be in QTEMP. You would then, when building the outer save
file, (1) clear out QTEMP, (2) put everything that needs to be in the
outer save file into QTEMP, and (3) save the contents of QTEMP into a
save file somewhere else.
The user would then download the outer save file, and then
RSTOBJ *ALL QTEMP *SAVF SAVF(FOOMASTER)
QTEMP/FOOINSTALL
That's how we've been doing QV installation since back in the days when
we were using a product called DistributeIt to package the master save
file onto a PC floppy disk. And over the years, our installer program
has been getting increasingly sophisticated.
