Creating Bat file from inno setup file - batch-file

Question

I have an inno setup code which works fine. Can anyone tell me how to make a bat file from an inno setup code so that a single click will initiate the installation set up.I have done that for java class files.Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

There should be no need for a .bat file. Inno Setup creates a stand-alone executable (by default named Setup.exe) that you can simply double-click like any other Windows executable.
The executable it creates is nameable either by renaming the Setup.exe to a different name (YourAppSetup.exe, for instance) manually, or by using the OutputBaseName value in the [Setup] section. You can control where the setup executable is created by using the [Setup] section value OutputDir. Here's an example, from the CodeExample1.iss' sample provided in yourInno Setup` installation:
[Setup]
AppName=My Program
AppVersion=1.5
DefaultDirName={code:MyConst}\My Program
DefaultGroupName=My Program
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\MyProg.exe
InfoBeforeFile=Readme.txt
OutputDir=userdocs:Inno Setup Examples Output
This creates the default Setup.exe in the userdocs: (your My Documents folder), in a subfolder named Inno Setup Examples Output. To put it somewhere else, just change the OutputDir entry to a different location. For instance, to put it in a sub-directory of your source folder named Installer, just use
OutputDir=Installer
For more info, see the documentation, in the Setup Script Sections->[Setup] Section Directives branch.
To change the name from Setup.exe to something else, add a new entry:
OutputBaseName=MyAppSetup
