Source code README • Getting Started • Obtaining sources First you need to download the sources from Github. From the command line do: >git clone is >cd is >git submodule init >git submodule update If you don't have the Git client ( git), get it from: To update your sources from the command line do: >git pull >git submodule update To be able to contribute to Inno Setup, clone your own fork instead of cloning the main Inno Setup repository, commit your work on topic branches and make pull requests. • Install Borland Delphi Unicode Inno Setup: We compile all of Inno Setup's projects under Delphi 2009 with Update 3. Newer Delphi versions should also work but will lead to significantly larger files.

To work with the Delphi 2009 IDE under Windows 8.1 you need these two things to make it work well: (md5sum: 545fc506c0614cf7a3339a7acb5217dc) (md5sum: c9598cf14452dd08987c5aec23d04f7d) Non Unicode Inno Setup: We compile all of Inno Setup's projects under Delphi 2.01, with the exception of Compil32 which is compiled under Delphi 3.02 (for the better Far East character set support), and Inno Setup Preprocessor's ISPP which is compiled under Delphi 7. Delphi 2.01 is used for the main projects because its VCL has a significantly smaller code size footprint than the later versions. Fl Veteran Drivers License.

Issrc - Inno Setup is a free installer for Windows programs. First introduced in 1997, Inno Setup today rivals and even surpasses many commercial installers in.

If you do not have access to these old versions of Delphi, you should be able to compile the projects on later versions, however complete compatibility is NOT guaranteed. We try to make Inno Setup compilable on the later versions when possible, but do not have the resources to test every change on every Delphi version. • Install Microsoft MSXML Install Microsoft MSXML 4.0 SP2 if you haven't already done so. See If you are not sure whether you have MSXML 4.0 SP2 already, check for a file named msxml4.dll in your Windows System directory with a version number of 4.20.9818.0 (or later). Note: Microsoft MSXML is only needed to be able to compile the help files. • Install Microsoft HTML Help Workshop Install Microsoft HTML Help Workshop if you haven't already done so. See Note: Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is only needed to be able to compile the help files.

• Building To build all files run build.bat and follow the instructions. To just compile Inno Setup run compile-unicode.bat for Unicode Inno Setup or compile.bat for Non Unicode Inno Setup and follow the instructions. To just compile the Inno Setup help file and its web version run ishelp compile.bat and follow the instructions. To just compile the Inno Setup Preprocessor help file and its web version run Projects Ispp Help compile.bat and follow the instructions. • Delphi 2.0x users ONLY Before you can successfully compile the projects in Delphi 2.0, you must do two things: • Install the latest version of SYSTEM.DCU if you haven't already done so.

It can be downloaded here: (md5sum: 54d4201afe431d1ffdc3f8d616907cfd) If you do not do this, you will probably get an 'I/O Error' message when trying to run the projects. • If the files SHLOBJ.DCU and REGSTR.DCU are missing from your Delphi Lib directory, download them here: (md5sum: 94530f3c400c728df897d7d740889487) • Component Installation If you intend to view or modify the Setup project's forms, you must install the following component units, which can be found in the Components directory. • BidiCtrls • BitmapImage • FolderTreeView • NewCheckListBox • NewNotebookReg • NewProgressBar • NewStaticText • PasswordEdit • RichEditViewer If you intend to view or modify the Compil32 project's forms, you must additionally install the following components. (Like the Compil32 project itself, these require Delphi 3 or later.) • DropListBox • NewTabSet If you only want to edit code, then you may skip installation of the components, and choose 'Cancel' if the Delphi IDE tells you a class can't be found. • Overview Inno Setup consists of seven projects: Compil32 - This is the GUI front-end for the compiler.

Compil32 does not do the actual compilation itself; it relegates it to ISCmplr.dll. If the ISCmplr project is changed, you normally don't need to recompile Compil32 since it's essentially a text editor, and is not affected by internal changes to the compiler. ISCC - This is the command-line front-end to the compiler.

Like Compil32, it depends on ISCmplr.dll to do the actual compiling. ISCmplr - This is a DLL which is loaded by Compil32 and ISCC to compile scripts. The actual compiler code is in Compile.pas. See CompInt.pas for the various structures and function declarations used to interface to the DLL.

Setup - This is the actual 'Setup' program. It displays the wizard, and performs all (un)installation-related tasks. SetupLdr - This is the 'setup loader.' It self-extracts a compressed Setup program into the user's TEMP directory and runs it from there.

It also displays the 'This will install.' And /HELP message boxes. ISPP ISPP - This is a DLL implementing Inno Setup's preprocessor interface How do the projects link together?

• ISCmplr, ISPP, Setup, and SetupLdr share the unit Struct.pas. This unit contains various data structures and constants shared by the projects. If Struct.pas is changed, you usually will need to recompile ISCmplr, ISPP, Setup, and SetupLdr so that everything is in synch. • There are more units which are shared between projects.

Search the 'uses' clauses of the projects and units if you aren't sure if a project uses a particular unit. • The ISPP help file uses various copies of other Inno Setup files. To synch these run synch-isfiles.bat. • Source code tips • If you modify the Setup or SetupLdr projects and want to be able to compile your installations with the new code, you'll need to copy the new EXE file(s) to the Setup Compiler directory under the extension.E32. • When debugging the Setup project you should set UseSetupLdr=no in your script, and copy the resulting setup-*.bin files to the source code directory. This way you can simulate an actual installation while running under the Delphi debugger. • All of the forms in the Setup project, with the exception of Main.dfm, have Scaled set to False.

This is because they dynamically scale themselves at run-time by calling a function named SetFormFont. • When a Cardinal-type variable is compared against a constant expression, why is a Cardinal cast sometimes used around the constant expression? Var X: Cardinal; begin if X >Cardinal( 1) then.

The cast is needed to to work around a bug in Delphi 2 and 3 compilers: without it, a signed comparison is done. • A note for those curious: The Setup Compiler creates single EXE Setups by first creating the SETUP.EXE as usual, then concatenating the SETUP.0 and SETUP-1.BIN to the end of the SETUP.EXE, and finally modifying an internal data block in SETUP.EXE so it knows it's in 'single EXE' form. • Starting with the 32-bit version of Inno Setup 1.12.7, the 'StripReloc' utility is used to decrease the size of the Non Unicode.EXE and.E32 files.

To download StripReloc, go to: • Delphi versions prior to 5 store.dfm files in a binary format. To be able to track changes to the forms using ordinary 'diff' commands,.dfm.txt 'mirrors' of the binary.dfm files have been created. Each time a.dfm file is modified, dfm2text is ran and both the.dfm file and the updated.dfm.txt file are commited. To download dfm2text, go to: • For compiler debugging purposes define STATICCOMPILER in CompForm.pas and STATICPREPROC in Compile.pas. The latter requires Unicode Inno Setup. • Precompiled executables and libraries The source code contains several precompiled executables and libaries: Files isbunzip.dll, Files isbzip.dll - Compiled by Visual Studio 2005 from the bzlib directory in the Iscompress repository.

Files isunzlib.dll, Files iszlib.dll - Compiled by Visual Studio 2005 from the zlib-dll directory in the Iscompress repository. Files islzma.dll, Files islzma32.exe, Files islzma64.exe - Compiled by Visual Studio 2005 from the Projects lzma2 Encoder directory. Files isscint.dll - Compiled by Visual Studio 2005 from Scintila 2.22 source code with scintilla-2.22-patch.txt applied. Projects_shfolder.res - shfolder.dll from a fresh install of IE 5.5 SP2 on NT 4.0 stored in a compiled resource file. Note: this file is normally not actually used by Setup.

Projects Helper x64 Release Helper.exe, Projects HelperEXEs.res - Compiled by Visual Studio 2005 from the Projects Helper directory and then stored in a compiled resource file. Projects LzmaDecode LzmaDecodeInno.obj - See Projects LzmaDecode compiling.txt. Projects lzma2 Decoder ISLzmaDec.obj, Projects lzma2 Decoder ISLzma2Dec.obj - See Projects lzma2 Decoder compiling.txt.

Ishelp ISHelpGen ISHelpGen.exe - See ishelp ISHelpGen compile.bat Examples MyProg.exe, Examples MyProg-x64.exe - Compiled by Visual Studio 2005 from the Examples MyProg directory. • Inno Setup-specific editing guidelines for the help files • When mentioning something the user would type in a script, e.g.

'MinVersion', surround it by so that it's displayed in the Courier New font. This is a convention used throughout the help file. Pc Dmis 2010 Hasp Cracked there. Example: MinVersion.

Applies to: Borland Delphi, BDE, Paradox Databases, Windows 7 Windows 7 can be very restrictive towards applications written for the previous versions of Windows. This is the case with the Borland Database Engine (BDE), which is not capable of running in Windows7 unless two settings have been changed: • A permission for the BDE must be given in the windows registry database. • A BDE attribute named “Net Dir” must be configured to an arbitrary folder other than the root drive (C:). This configuration is done in the “BDE Administrator” program that’s installed with the BDEInfoSetup utility. First, configure the permission for the BDE in the registry Make sure you are logged into your Windows7 machine with an administrator account. Then follow these directions: • Go to Start Run Type regedit • Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch.

• Open the SOFTWARE branch. • Right-Click on the entry labeled “Borland”. • In the menu that shows select Permissions. The following dialog will appear: • Click “Users”. • Under “Permissions for Users “, select “Allow” for Full Control. Then click OK.

• Click OK to exit the Registry Key Permissions dialog box. • Exit the Registry Editor window 2. Next the Borland Database Engine must be configured The Borland Database Engine makes use of a special file called “Pdoxusrs.net” (the purpose of which is beyond the scope of this document).

The default setting for the placement of this file is in the root of drive C, which will fail under Windows Windows7, as this operating system does not permit new files to be created here. However, it is permitted to designate any subfolder for the “Pdoxusrs.net” file to be placed.

The name of this new folder is of minor importance and could be named anything you like. For example, here we will choose “BDEShare”.

(The name doesn’t matter. It just needs to be any folder other than the root drive.) So let’s stick with this example. Create a subfolder off the root drive C and name it “ BDEShare“. So the file path for this new subfolder will be “C:BDEShare”.

Remember this string value because you will need to enter it below. Now the BDE must be configured to use the new folder.

This is done in the Windows control panel, where you will find an applet named “ BDE administrator“. Note that you will only see this after the BDE has been installed to your system (which should have been done automatically during the installation of your application). You can also find this utility under C:Program FilesBorlandCommon FilesBDEBDEADMIN.EXE Double-click the BDE Administrator to open it. You will see the following dialog appear: As shown in the above picture, click the tabsheet titled “Configuration”.

Expand the configuration as shown (Drivers – Native) to expose the entry titled “PARADOX”. Single click the item named PARADOX. Now observe the data that fills on the right half of the dialog. You will need to edit the entry for “NET DIR”. Initially, it will be shown as “C:”. You need to change that entry to the subfolder that you created above.

In our example, this is C:BDEShare. If the BDE Administrator is not capable of making the change then verify that the permission in the registry has been set properly. If this isn’t the case then retry to apply the permission as described in the above. Now start your application. With the BDE now happy with Windows7 (actually, the other way around!), your app should function properly. Hi, I run a Delphi 4 application with Dbase and BDE in Windows 7. It works OK under the Administrator, but not under the Standard User, although I made the recommended changes in the registry and the NetDir.

I still get the error “An error occured while attempting to intialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2B27)”, which means ‘Unknown internal operating system error’. I have noticed that a temporary file INMEM000.REM is created during the application run in the root directory – couldn’t this be the problem, even though the User has full rights? Would you have any advice for me? Thank you very much.
