Until recently we were using Inno Setup for our installations, something I would like to continue doing, unless we can get an uninstall option in the start menu (thanks Giovanni Galbo), however we now need to GAC some external libraries, something I suspect is only doable (or at least only supported) though the .NET Setup Project. Is it...
Our installer is written with InnoSetup and we are actually quite happy with it. Yet some customers keep asking for an MSI installer which they could more easily distribute via Active Directory. We have already gone to some lengths to make the installer deal really well with automated and unattended installations by extending InnoSetup's...

I've spent a good part of the day searching, writing and finally scrapping a script that I can use with my Inno Setup install script that will download and install the appropriate .NET 2.0 Framework if needed.

All results are then distributed to th...
I've tried variations of this, but had no luck other than the ability to start a cygwin window.

I have this in my installer and I need to change the name of the ini file. [INI] Filename: {app}\bin\old.ini; Section: Data; Key: key; String: Value; If I just change the filename it will create another ini file and I'll lose the data. Is there some easy way to rename this ini file in the installer? ...
Are function pointers supported in INNO Setup? I can't find anything in the documentation. I know Delphi/Pascal supports them and as the INNO scripting engine is based on it, I'm hoping it is supported. ...
Basically what I need is an automated way to update the product version number in WiX (3.0 with Votive etc), and then get that version number into an Inno Setup "bootstrapper" I pretty much have the process mostly automated, however version numbers still need to be updated manually which obviously isn't ideal, but I couldn't find how to...

I am using Inno Setup for the installer for my windows application. If a user has the application when the installer is run (eg. for an update), the installer will stop when it is unable to replace a file in use, and it allows the user to select whether to Abort, Ignore, or Retry. I would like it to only allow Abort or Retry and remove ...

Is there any way to have this say instead: This program requires WindowsXP Service Pack 3 or later. ...
What is the best way to determine if the flash ocx is installed in Innosetup (or any installer for that matter). I don't want to attempt to install it myself, I will simply force the user to go to the flash site and install, I just want to make sure that the flash.ocx (version 9+) is installed. Is it enough to check for HKEY_CLASSES_RO...

I am developing a chained installer including the .msi installation of Crystal Reports Basic (10.5) using Inno Setup. I cannot find any deployment guidance to determine if this is already installed on the target PC, though it appears I can call the .msi multiple times and it always attempts to install (never goes to the typical repair/r...
