InnoSetup.ScriptBuilder

InnoSetup.ScriptBuilder

This package is intended to build Inno Setup script files (*.iss) using C# fluent API. You can find the official Inno Setup documentation on Inno Setup web site.

Examples

Create builder

To get the script looking like this

[Setup]
AppName="BimTools.Support"
AppVersion="1.2.5.1634640046"
DefaultDirName="{userappdata}\SupportTools"
PrivilegesRequired=lowest
OutputBaseFilename="Tools.Support_2021_1.2.5.1634640046"
SetupIconFile="ToolsIcon.ico"
UninstallDisplayIcon="ToolsIcon.ico"
DisableDirPage=yes

[Files]
Source: "bin\*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs; 
Source: "SupportTools.addin"; DestDir: "{userappdata}\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2019"; 
Source: "bin\Fonts\GraphikLCG-Medium.ttf"; DestDir: "{autofonts}"; Flags: onlyifdestfileexists uninsneveruninstall; FontInstall: "Graphik LCG"; 
Source: "bin\Fonts\GraphikLCG-Regular.ttf"; DestDir: "{autofonts}"; Flags: onlyifdestfileexists uninsneveruninstall; FontInstall: "Graphik LCG";

inherit your builder class from IssBuilder base class

public class DemoBuilder : IssBuilder
{
    public DemoBuilder()
    {
        Setup.Create("BimTools.Support")
            .AppVersion("1.2.5.1634640046")
            .DefaultDirName(@"{userappdata}\SupportTools")
            .PrivilegesRequired(PrivilegesRequired.Lowest)
            .OutputBaseFilename("Tools.Support_2021_1.2.5.1634640046")
            .SetupIconFile("ToolsIcon.ico")
            .UninstallDisplayIcon("ToolsIcon.ico")
            .DisableDirPage(YesNo.Yes);
    
        Files.CreateEntry(source: @"bin\*", destDir: InnoConstants.App)
            .Flags(FileFlags.IgnoreVersion | FileFlags.RecurseSubdirs);
        Files.CreateEntry(source: "SupportTools.addin", destDir: @"{userappdata}\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2019");
        Files.CreateEntry(source: @"bin\Fonts\GraphikLCG-Medium.ttf", destDir: @"{autofonts}")
            .FontInstall("Graphik LCG")
            .Flags(FileFlags.OnlyIfDestFileExists | FileFlags.UninsNeverUninstall);
        Files.CreateEntry(source: @"bin\Fonts\GraphikLCG-Regular.ttf", destDir: @"{autofonts}")
            .FontInstall("Graphik LCG")
            .Flags(FileFlags.OnlyIfDestFileExists | FileFlags.UninsNeverUninstall);
    }
}

or use BuilderUtils.CreateBuilder()

var builder = BuilderUtils.CreateBuilder(builder =>
{
    builder.Setup.Create("BimTools.Support")
        .AppVersion("1.2.5.1634640046")
        .DefaultDirName(@"{userappdata}\SupportTools")
        .PrivilegesRequired(PrivilegesRequired.Lowest)
        .OutputBaseFilename("Tools.Support_2021_1.2.5.1634640046")
        .SetupIconFile("ToolsIcon.ico")
        .UninstallDisplayIcon("ToolsIcon.ico")
        .DisableDirPage(YesNo.Yes);
        
    builder.Files.CreateEntry(source: @"bin\*", destDir: InnoConstants.App)
        .Flags(FileFlags.IgnoreVersion | FileFlags.RecurseSubdirs);
    builder.Files.CreateEntry(source: "SupportTools.addin", destDir: @"{userappdata}\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2019");
    builder.Files.CreateEntry(source: @"bin\Fonts\GraphikLCG-Medium.ttf", destDir: @"{autofonts}")
        .FontInstall("Graphik LCG")
        .Flags(FileFlags.OnlyIfDestFileExists | FileFlags.UninsNeverUninstall);
    builder.Files.CreateEntry(source: @"bin\Fonts\GraphikLCG-Regular.ttf", destDir: @"{autofonts}")
        .FontInstall("Graphik LCG")
        .Flags(FileFlags.OnlyIfDestFileExists | FileFlags.UninsNeverUninstall);
);

Getting results

String result

var builder = new DemoBuilder();
var result = builder.ToString();

Script file

var builder = new DemoBuilder();
builder.Build("demo.iss");

// or

BuilderUtils.Build<DemoBuilder>("demo.iss");

// or

BuilderUtils.Build(
    builder =>
    {
        builder.Setup.Create("BimTools.Support")
            .AppVersion("1.2.5.1634640046")
            .DefaultDirName(@"{userappdata}\SupportTools");
        builder.Files.CreateEntry(@"bin\*", InnoConstants.App)
            .Flags(FileFlags.IgnoreVersion | FileFlags.RecurseSubdirs);
    }, 
    "demo.iss");

Not implemented sections and parameters

If the section you want to insert is not implemented you can use either Sections.CreateKeyValueSection() or Sections.CreateParameterSection() methods. To insert not implemented parameters/directives of any kind of section use Parameter() method.

// for key-value sections
Sections.CreateKeyValueSection("Messages")
    .CreateEntry()
    .Parameter("BeveledLabel", @"Inno Setup")
    .Parameter("HelpTextNote", @"/PORTABLE=1%nEnable portable mode.");
    
// for parameter sections
Sections.CreateParameterSection("Registry")
    .CreateEntry()
        .Parameter("Root", RegistryKeys.HKU)
        .Parameter("Subkey", @"Software\My Company\My Program")
        .Parameter("ValueName", "Name")
        .Parameter("ValueType", ValueTypes.String)
        .Parameter("ValueData", "Test app");
