Another Inno Setup Example
I realize no one will be able to copy and paste this script to do exactly what they want, but I thought several of these items might be useful.
I developed another Inno Setup script that copies all files from a file share locally, runs a few installers (from a nested “Installers” directory that houses all the exe’s as you’ll see), sets some registry settings for an ODBC connection to a DBISAM database, and copies the .NET trust settings from a nested “Net Framework” folder, which allows me to set a “Full Trust” as needed for several applications. This setup essentially lets me put the “Net Framework” and an “Installers” folder on a disc with the EXE that this script generates, creating an easy to use install disc for setting up new workstations.
Here is the code, I hope someone finds a useful snippet or two:
#define MyAppName "Software"
#define MyAppVerName "Software Installation 2.0"
#define MyAppPublisher "My Company"
