Kimmo Varis 91c8a5f1f0 Build installer to Build directory in project root. Currently installer is build to subdirectory of the iss file which is not obvious place to find it. Also it is not good practice to build executables to source directories.		2009-03-09 19:21:22 +02:00

Windows installer for the cppcheck
----------------------------------

Simple Windows installer installing executable, license file and readme.txt to
program files/cppcheck folder.

Shortcuts are created to start cmd.exe in installation folder. So when the user
selects start menu/desktop icon he gets command prompt in cppcheck folder.

Get the InnoSetup from:
http://www.innosetup.com/
Be sure to download the 'QuickStart Pack' as it installs some nice tools
like ISTool and preprocessor support.

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.
