Providing your mod with an installer

Mon Apr 21, 2008 9:52 am

This can be done relatively easily. I personnaly use Inno Setup for all AGEOD setups, and I'm only tapping perhaps 5% of its power.

Inno Setup is free and has a near-Pascal syntax. It is made in Delphi. You don't have to care about that, but I have to say it nonetheless, as Delphi is the language I use, and is not made by Microsoft :king:

Here is an example file, which remove all .rgn file and replace them by another set. Just copy and paste the commands, it should satisfy 95% of your need.

And here is the look of the Inno script, for whose interested.

Yes i tried that first, then i moved to NSIS (Nullsoft scriptable install system) which i also recommend for its flexibility and ease of use. It's got some examples that guide you with a sort of tutorial/wizard.

I hope this friend of mine finds a moment to teach me on ventrilo/ts2 today.
