Downloading Inno Setup 5.2.3
Inno Setup is a free installer for Windows programs. First introduced in 1997, Inno Setup today rivals and even surpasses many commercial installers in feature set and stability. Installations are created by means of scripts, which are ASCII text files with a format somewhat similar to .INI files. (No, it's not as complicated as you might be thinking!) Inno Setup is a tool that helps you to create windows installers. Scripts have an ".iss" (meaning Inno Setup Script) extension. The script controls every aspect of the installation. It specifies which files are to be installed and where, what shortcuts are to be created and what they are to be named, and so on. Script files are usually edited from inside the Setup Compiler program. After you have finishing writing the script, the next and final step is select "Compile" in the Setup Compiler. What this does is create a complete, ready-to-run Setup program based on your script. By default, this is created in a directory named "Output" under the directory containing the script. To give you an idea of how this all works, start the Setup Compiler, click File | Open, and select one of the script files in the Samples subdirectory located under the Inno Setup directory. (It may be helpful to use the sample scripts as a template for your own scripts.) Here are some key features of "Inno Setup": · Support for all 32-bit Windows versions in use today -- Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, Me, NT 4.0. · Supports creation of a single EXE to install your program for easy online distribution. Disk spanning is also supported. · Standard wizard interface, including support for the latest Windows 2000/XP wizard style. · Customizable setup types, e.g. Full, Minimal, Custom. · Complete uninstall capabilities. · Installation of files: · Includes integrated "deflate" file compression (the same compression .zip files use) and also supports bzip2 compression. The installer has the ability to compare file version info, replace in-use files, use shared file counting, register DLL/OCX's and type libraries, and install fonts. · Creation of shortcuts anywhere, including in the Start Menu and on the desktop. · Creation of registry and .INI entries. · Silent install and uninstall. · Full source code is available (Borland Delphi 2.0-5.0).
