Portable Inno Setup Compiler

Inno Setup Compiler Portable Edition is an award winning installation system designed to provide you with an intuitive, yet powerful tool for creating installers for your applications. The application generates configurable scripts and compiles them into ready-to-run setup packages.

Due to the built-in wizard, the installer generation process is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. The wizard can guide you through every necessary step for including the installation files into the script, thus creating the output is just a matter of pressing a few 'Next' buttons.

A few details are required for the script to be generated, such as the application name, version, publisher and website, destination directory and folder name. You can set the script to allow folder changes or not.

You also have to specify the files that are part of the application (the main executable, dependencies and other files), the start menu integration options and configure the licensing information and the included languages.

The generated script can be previewed within the main window of Inno Setup Compiler, allowing you to perform modifications on-the-spot, in case you missed something. The compilation process does not take long, but its speed depends on the amount of files included in the installer. In order to avoid high system resource consumption, you can set the application to assign a low priority to the compiler.

The output executable file is based on the created script and controls every aspect of the installation process. It automatically creates the necessary registry entries, INI entries and the uninstall options during setup.

To conclude with, Inno Setup Compiler Portable Edition is one of the most powerful setup builders out there, surpassing other similar applications due to its feature set. It is portable, which means that you can run it directly from a USB flash drive, without leaving traces in the system registry.
