Files the installer needs:
/Release/cppcheck.exe
/COPYING
/readme.txt
Creating the installer executable:
#1 Open the ISTool and load cppcheck.iss
#2 Update the release version number:
- look for line "#define AppVersion"
#3 Check all files are present:
- from menu: Project / Verify files...
#4 Compile the installer
- from menu: Project / Compile Setup
If compilation succeeds, the installer executable is created into folder
/win_installer/output. The filename is cppcheck-[version]-setup.exe.
