I've got a dialog box which is taking in a software activation code that needs to be stored in the {app} directory. I've been trying to do this with Pascal, but Inno-Setup doesn't have the type "Text", so I'm a bit stumped (I've never used pascal before today, so I could be missing something obvious). Has any one done this before? Any i...

When I do the following in my setup file, windows=[ { 'script': 'gulhane.py', 'icon_resources': [(1, "icon.ico")] } ], Python crashes and I am unable to run the script using python setup.py py2exe.

I'm using the excellent Innosetup installer and I notice that some Applications (often from Microsoft) get installed with their launch icon already highly visible ('pinned?' ) in the start menu (in Windows 7). Am I totally reliant on the most-recently-used algorithm for my icon to be 'large' in the start menu, or is there a way of promot...

Hi, I'm building a deployment for a work environment, and doing it with Inno Setup. I wrap the other installers in one Inno-exe-File. It's working fine with other exe installers, but fails when it comes to MSI installers.

Hi Guys, I've got a "Project" containing a mixed set of files that my application compiles into an installable using InnoSetup. Many of the project files are system or configuration files, and not relevant to the actual install. Therefore, i want to include only the relevant files in an installer. I have a list of them in my application...
I've built a web page using HTML and Javascript that acts like a desktop app. I'd like to distribute it to users in the methods they are most familiar with. For Windows users, I think this is an installable application or a "setup.exe" file. My app, however, works perfectly in the browser. Specifically it can be opened in a javascrip...
I'm using Innosetup and I've started getting modular with the "#include Slave.iss" construct. Today I noticed that compile-time errors in the Slave.iss seem to be ignored, although correct lines are processed, for example a missing file in the [Files] section is correctly highlighted in the master.iss but not in the Slave.iss. This is po...

But sometimes this directory is empty and in that case Inno Setup stops with an error "No files matching ...". My current workaround is adding an empty dummy file to that directory. Can I make Inno Setup ignore this director...

If I run Inno Setup compiler from a command line/batch file it creates an exe with the version information in the file name. However, when I run from hudson (same command line) I don't get the version information. Perhaps I am missing something. Is this a known issue? This is the way I am doing it in the iss script file. #define...
