You can create a zip of your altered file set but not make it installable....
If you learn from the downloadble distribution...you could unzip it locally, add your edited/overrideable folders & files to it then re-zip it

Thanks for your reply.Actually my problem is that

I want to give this zencart module as extra support for my merchants.so i want to create seperate domain for each merchant on my server.
Whenever a merchant is created from admin module i have to create a installable zencart project for him.

I have customized my zencart project.

I have created a seperate login called "merchant" same as "admin" but this login have limited menus.

Now i want to install this modified zencart in some other location so what changes i have to make to the "zc_install" folder.

Copy all the Zen Cart folders and files to the new location. Use phpMyAdmin from your webmaster panel to backup the current database and use it from the webmaster panel on the new site to restore it.

Thanks for your reply.

I don't want to manually place the folders in new location i want to install this in the same way as we install zencart.how to do it?

Can we install two zencart projects on same server with different databases

[afo]

Yes. You'll have to install them in their own directory. All three of the carts in my sig are on the same server.

when installing zencart for the second time it's asking for database upgrade if i choose install it's erasing the previous database.how to solve this issue

Are you installing zencart manually or via Fantastico?
If latter, this is your problem.
