Create your own instllations with Inno Setup
Inno Setup can help you create your own installers and uninstallers. I have used Inno Setup in the past and recently and I have created an installer for 30 GB worth of data files and some custom scripting to detect installation folders, system config, etc. It is a very good install program with the most IMO worthy features as follows:
- Support for all windows versions (including Vista) – both 32 bit and 64 bit
- Choice of single executable or disk spanning
- Custom Setup types
- You can create custom pages for the installation
- Different compression types – 7-Zip’s LZMA compression has excellent compression ratio and fast decompression
- Integrated Pascal scripting engine
- Very good community support and variety of example script
- Many tools available to supplement the installer creation process (like ISTool, InnoSetup Form Designer, addons for downloading, license keys, etc.)
Overall excellent installer with a very small footprint. Strongly recommended!
