yea, knock yourself out bro. I only shared this source because I am planning on starting over, create another project. This time I have to use XE6 and layered.
so if there is a problem in IC just try to fix it yourself. script is long but people can manage.

Open InstallerCreator.dproj to start working and script.iss is editable, compile compiler.iss to update compiler.

Thanks Razor12911.
Let me edit the designer!
Why they Win64? Can i change it?

[Razor12911]

you can change profile. There is Win32 and Win64.
Make sure you add yourself as a editor/modder and not as the creator.
and no advertisements.

I've been trying to create a custom setup for a game I have with Install Creator, been quite a success but I just can't get 2 things right.

1. The uninstall value in control panel always displays like this:

Game name version x.x.x.x

I'd like it to dispaly just the game name

2. the start menu & desktop shortcuts have the word launcher added to the end after the game name, I'd like it to just be the game name, only been able to get that right when selecting CUSTOM for the executable type but than it shows the game name instead of "Launch" on the autorun menu.

Both issues are minor but it will bug me forever, I just know it, any ideas?

I just downloaded & read through it, didn't see a solution for what I wanted, basically, I really want the installed product to appear at the control panel add/remove program windows with the product name only, not followed by "version 1.0.0.0"

Lets say my the product is called "My Game", currently it will appear in the uninstall list as "My game version 1.0.0.0", I want it to just appear as "My Game".

As I said, found no way to control that, maybe with registry entries but I wouldn't know how.

As for the desktop shortcut, as far as I can see using the CUSTOM type at the executable settings is my best option, it gives me the closest result to what I wanted.

EDIT:

Nevermind, figured it out, indeed using registry values, I just installed the game from the custom setup & located the registry entries the installer automatically adds for the uninstall values, from there I extracted the Displayname value and added it to the setup project, changed the display name, uninstalled, reinstalled original version, re-compiled, and uninstalled, then reinstalled from the custom setup and the uninstall value appeared right as I wanted.

So I'm finally done & the custom setup ready.

Or you can just grab source, edit script.iss, under Setup section, add AppID and the value should be the same as AppName.
Then save script, compile compiler.iss script then copy compiler.exe from the output then replace the one under the Installer Creator installation directory.

Whoa, what? overload....

What source? what scrpt? I lost you there, all I have is an ICP file for the project.

EDIT:

OK, nevermind, I think I figured out what you mean, trying it now.

Seems as there's a problem, I was using version 2.5.1 so the source wasn't compatible, I tried installing 2.7 beta instead but now I can't find where is the soure settings that tells install creator which folder to create the setup from, I have only "executable" , "tasks" & "components" under the resources tab.
