    Question Inno Setup Question...

    I have started using INNO Setup, pretty nice except for the fact that I have to manually add all of the system files that need to be included. Did I miss something or is this the way it it?

    ex:
    Compiled the Setup.exe then went into the .iss file and had to add

    Source: "C:\WINNT\system32\MSINET.OCX"; DestDir: "{sys}"; CopyMode: onlyifdoesntexist; Flags: uninsneveruninstall because it did notinclude it when I compiled it.

    The next problem is how do I know what needs to be included with out actually runing it and correcting for each error that occurs after the install?

    Use Package and Deployment wizard to see what your app needs, then script it into inno setup.

    Thats what I was just thinking, but it's kind of a pain.... It would be nie if INNO would be able to deetect those files as P&D does.....

    inno doesnt. Neither does any other install app that i know of. Only P&D does it.

    That's because P&DW was created by MS... thinking about VB project. Inno Setup lets you create a Setup package for anything.
