Features include a wizard interface, creation of a single EXE for easy online distribution, support for disk spanning, full uninstall capabilities, customizable setup types, integrated file compression, support for installing shared files and OCX’s, and creation of Start Menu icons, INI entries, and registry entries. Inno Setup places no arbitrary limits on how many files, shortcuts, registry entries, etc. that you may include in an installation. However, keep in mind that Setup does need memory for each entry in a script. For example, roughly 120 bytes of memory is needed for each [Files] entry.
Key features:
• Support for all versions of Windows in use today: Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000. (No service packs are required.)
• Extensive support for installation of 64-bit applications on the 64-bit editions of Windows. Both the x64 and Itanium architectures are supported. (On the Itanium architecture, Service Pack 1 or later is required on Windows Server 2003 to install in 64-bit mode.)
• Supports creation of a single EXE to install your program for easy online distribution. Disk spanning is also supported.
• Standard Windows 2000/XP-style wizard interface.
• Customizable setup types, e.g. Full, Minimal, Custom.
• Complete uninstall capabilities.
• Installation of files: Includes integrated support for “deflate”, bzip2, and 7-Zip LZMA file compression. The installer has the ability to compare file version info, replace in-use files, use shared file counting, register DLL/OCX’s and type libraries, and install fonts.
• Creation of shortcuts anywhere, including in the Start Menu and on the desktop.
• Creation of registry and .INI entries.
• Running other programs before, during or after install.
• Support for multilingual installs, including right-to-left language support.
• Support for passworded and encrypted installs.
• Support for digitally signed installs and uninstalls.
• Silent install and uninstall.
• Unicode installs. (Windows 2000/XP or later)
• Integrated Pascal scripting engine option for advanced run-time install and uninstall customization.
• Full source code is available (Borland Delphi 2.0-5.0 and 2009).
Changes in Inno Setup 5.5.2:
* Added the Windows 8 “compatibility” section to the various manifest resources used by Inno Setup.
* Added constants {userpf} and {usercf}. Only Windows 7 and later supports {userpf} and {usercf}; if used on previous Windows versions, they will translate to the same directories as {localappdata}\Programs and {localappdata}\Programs\Common.
* Pascal Scripting: Added new RegisterExtraCloseApplicationsResources event function and also added new RegisterExtraCloseApplicationsResource support function. These functions can be used to register extra files which Setup should check for being in-use.
* Added new command line parameters supported by Setup: /CLOSEAPPLICATIONS and /RESTARTAPPLICATIONS. These can be used to override the CloseApplications and RestartApplications directives.
* Decreased Unicode Setup.e32's and SetupLdr.e32's size. Contributed by Andreas Hausladen via GitHub. (This reduced the size of Unicode Inno Setup’s own installer by approximately 40 KB.)
* Unicode [Code] based on RemObjects Pascal Script Git commit 52291ffbfc14f3cf1a445f3e88c6902e13fbdf78.
* Minor tweaks.
