Path to store Inno Setup output files to (Setup-*.bin)

Question

How to change names, extensions and locations of setup-*.bin (Inno Setup internal compression archive file)

Default archive location: {src}

Location where I want: {src}\Data (Data is a folder.)

Answer 1

There are many way to change the output folder and base file name here are a few:

• In inno setup

[Setup]

OutputDir={userdocs}\Data({userdocs}means my document,change this if you want another folder)

• To change Output Base File name that is setup-*.bin in your case

[Setup] OutputBaseFilename=setup(change setup to any name)

• To change the size of setup-*.binyou can use

  [Setup]

DiskSpanning=true

DiskSliceSize=2000000000(as your preference).

• {src} is nothing but a directory constants which mean "The directory in which the Setup files are located".

PS: If you want to create script for inno setup you can use ISTool instead then use the script in inno setup.

Thanks if you like my answer then accepted it.

Answer 2

By the setup-*.bin, I assume you refer to output files resulting from disk spanning. I do not know what "Inno Setup internal compression archive file" is.

Default location for Inno Setup output files is not {src} (it wouldn't make sense) but subfolder "Output" under the directory containing the script."

You can change this using OutputDir directive.

Quoting Inno Setup documentation:

Specifies the "output" directory for the script, which is where the Setup Compiler will place the resulting SETUP.* files. By default, it creates a directory named "Output" under the directory containing the script for this.
