Inno Setup is a program for Windows that offers you to create executable files for software installers. There is a specific scripting language that allows you to specify installer parameters. You can access several templates.

Development

In order to start creating executable files, it is necessary to write the script manually or use a step-by-step wizard. In the latter case, the utility requires entering the version, application name, website, and developer’s details. After that, you may select the folder for installation. There is an option to change the directory name.

You have to pick the distribution package as well as any additional files for installation. It is possible to include multiple interface languages. Furthermore, you may decide whether the installer should run as a user or an administrator.

Compilation

When you finish writing the script, please start the compilation process, which generates an EXE file. During installation, you may check the developer’s digital signature and the current program version.

This program supports Pascal scripting language to configure advanced installation and deletion parameters. To reduce the size of your installer, you can use the file compression function.
