pakrat2k2 is on a distinguished road
here's a link to a basic inno installer, that was used BEFORE yener's CI / CIU
written by Peterf1999 & re-used numerous times for other conversions. Look in
The Witcher2.iss script & see how it links the images from Wizard_Res subfolder.

The only things that need changing in the script are the name of the game, the registry entries & the number of images, from the Witcher 2.iss script itself

Code:
const
  PlayTask = 0;
  SupportTask= 1;
  AllUsers = 2;
  Current = 3;
  GE_resource = '';
  bgicount= 6;
  WSplash=671;
  HSplash=214;
in the wizard_res folder there are BGI0... - BGI5... images, both 4x3 & 16x9 count as 1, ( for screen resolution ) 0-5=6 thats where the bgicount number comes in.

I know its a fairly old script, but once you understand that one, then jump into yener's scripts. Making the images for yener's scripts are much more complicated then the one below.

Everything you need to start is included, just edit the iss scripts to match what game you want to do , get your images & registry entries, make the scripts match that info
& compile it.

use whatever program you want for the images to resize them accordingly, see how big the 4x3 & 16x9 images are then make yours match them.

its a starting point at least. others may say dont bother with that one use yener's, but if you dont understand even the basics how will you deal with making buttons, cursors etc, ..... you wont.

good luck have fun.

EDIT

Just looked thru Two Worlds 2 Epic Edition & its definately going to need the newer CI/CIU as its a 2 piece game.
The main game itself & Castle Defense addon, which can either be installed or not.

Will have to be patient, see if it can be done.
