[DUG] InstallAware Questions

[Conor Boyd]

In short, I'm not sure, but I would hazard a guess that you can do
pretty much whatever you want with the scripting.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

But the CurStepChanged event is quite useful.  For example, another
thing I do is if my installer is running as an auto-upgrade, then in the
PostInstall step, the installer sets itself (the installer executable)
to be automatically deleted the next time the PC starts up.

Thanks for that! - I will have to read up more on this and do some
experimenting!

The specific need I have for it is in this distribution update section:

[Files]
;only send files put in the JBCLDIST folder
Source: "C:\JBCLDIST\*.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion

And the files I send vary from one distribution to another - I just put
the files I want into the distribution folder and the Inno compiler
picks up whatever is there.  Will the suggestion you made or the flag
calling a script..

; BeforeInstall: MyBeforeInstall

Added at the end of the line allow me to call a procedure to only backup
the files distributed in this setup?  I will have to play with how it
interprets wild cards....
