When I compiled my inno setup script, it said: Line 14: [ISSP] File not found "addon_installer_donotmodify.iss" When I removed that line, it said, Line 14: Directive "Source: CD RadDRad_resaddonsFed Ex Express_xi.3dr";DestDir: {app}DRad_resaddons";Attribs:readonly; Flags: ignoreversion touch" has no value. I followed the instructions on the 3D Rad website and only put the files for the addon that were not included in 3D Rad. Please reply!

I've never heard of any program for making installers except Inno Setup. I will try and look around, but I might need another example to make it do anything.

install creator pro $:-\$

Pro? Does that mean it costs money? That would be fancier then Inno setup, but I need something that's free.

You could use google... you know... to see if it costs money.

have you tried innoIDE (comes with inno setup)? it has a wizard and is very easy to use. I don't have time to do a tutorial or anything but it's easy enough to figure out useing the wizard.

but below are some flag setting i use (this from a script generated by the wizard but i modify the flags for usage in deployment which might be helpfull to you, i added [Dirs] section to allow writting inside the folder of the deployed app):

Code: [Select]

[Files]
Source: "C:\Users\davester\Desktop\OddityEngine_Final\*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: replacesameversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs
; NOTE: Don't use "Flags: ignoreversion" on any shared system files

[Icons]
Name: "{group}\{cm:ProgramOnTheWeb,{#MyAppName}}"; Filename: "{#MyAppURL}"
Name: "{group}\{cm:UninstallProgram,{#MyAppName}}"; Filename: "{uninstallexe}"

[Dirs]
Name: "{app}\"; Permissions: authusers-modify

[Uninstall]
DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: replacesameversion

actually I had 5 mins so threw this tutorial together.

first i compiled my rad (in this case the aircraft demo) project as you would normally wher it was outputted to
C:\3D Rad\3DRad_res\compiledProject\Aircraft_Demo\

now step 1 launch innoIDE:

now start the wizard...

hit next...

type in some basic data for the project...

hit next...

first param browse to your exe...

now we add folder which will be full of the content we want to deploy...

hit yes then next...

select appropriate params...

add any text files that contain relevant information such as minimum operating setting,hardware or license info...other wise leave blank.

select languages...

first param select output where you want the installer created i just set to the desktop as easy to find once compiled...

check and hit next...

hit finish...

now we will have our generated script and we can set further information such as installer version info like...

then fill it out like (with your data) and press ok...

now we are back to our script as generated by the wizard, now scroll down to the bottom...

change/add circled data/flags as in this pic (and previous post to this one)...

save the project once you are happy with it...

now hit compile...

compiling...

finnished compiling hit close...

and now you should have your installer on the desktop somewhere...

hope that helps someone...

Yep, it costs money.
To genetransfer now, thanks for the tutorial.

no problem, sorry i didn't read what section this was in

I didn't realize you where doing an addon. it's should still be possible to follow the tutorial with some changes such as not needing the exe. though I've not made an installer for an addon. well at least it would help with a normal compiled project for anyone not familiar with inno setup.

Inno can be a pain sometimes...
