Included is a template for the script file. It includes all the necessary [Code] and placeholders for necessary keys in the script. Copy Basic.iss to the \Setup folder in your development folder structure shown previously and rename it to something more meaningful.

Once the basic options are changed it is time to modify the Registry entries. Recall that the [RegKey] name in the INI file must match this path, not including HKCU\Software.

Now it is time for the files. There are always two core files, the Setup.ini that is component set specific and the installer DLL, which is common. Due to a bug in InnoSetup we must copy the DLL to a common place, such as the system folder and allow all component packages to use it for install and uninstalling. The DLL is only 150k so not uninstalling it is not a problem.

Now we can copy the folders from our component development folder to ISTools. Drag and Drop works great. Note that ISTools will ask if you want to create the folders. Simply click OK for all the dialog boxes that appear (one for each folder).
