Unfortunately, not +all features (e.g. component dependencies) are currently supported by +Inno Setup and they're ignored by the generator for now. + +CPack requires Inno Setup 6 or greater and only works on Windows. + +Variables specific to CPack Inno Setup generator +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +You can use the following variables to change the behavior of the CPack +``INNOSETUP`` generator: + + +General +""""""" + +None of the following variables is required to be set for the Inno Setup +generator to work. If a variable is marked as mandatory below but not set, +its default value is taken. + +The variables can also contain Inno Setup constants like ``{app}``. Please +refer to the documentation of Inno Setup for more information. + +If you're asked to provide the path to any file, you can always give an +absolute path or in most cases the relative path from the top-level directory +where all files being installed by an :command:`install` instruction reside. + +CPack tries to escape quotes and other special characters for you. However, +using special characters could cause problems. + +The following variable simplifies the usage of Inno Setup in CMake: + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_USE_CMAKE_BOOL_FORMAT + + Inno Setup only uses ``yes`` or ``no`` as boolean formats meanwhile CMake + uses a lot of alternative formats like ``ON`` or ``OFF``. Having this option + turned on enables an automatic conversion. + + Consider the following example: + + .. code-block:: cmake + + set(CMAKE_INNOSETUP_SETUP_AllowNoIcons OFF) + + If this option is turned on, the following line will be created in the output + script: ``AllowNoIcons=no``. + Else, the following erroneous line will be created: ``AllowNoIcons=OFF`` + + The conversion is enabled in every Inno Setup specific variable. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``ON`` + + +Setup Specific Variables +"""""""""""""""""""""""" + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_ARCHITECTURE + + One of ``x86``, ``x64``, ``arm64`` or ``ia64``. This variable specifies the + target architecture of the installer. This also affects the Program Files + folder or registry keys being used. + + CPack tries to determine the correct value with a try compile (see + :variable:`CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P`), but this option can be manually specified + too (especially when using ``ia64`` or cross-platform compilation). + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: Either ``x86`` or ``x64`` depending on the results of the try-compile + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_INSTALL_ROOT + + If you don't want the installer to create the installation directory under + Program Files, you've to specify the installation root here. + + The full directory of the installation will be: + ``${CPACK_INNOSETUP_INSTALL_ROOT}/${CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY}``. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``{autopf}`` + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_ALLOW_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY + + If turned on, the installer allows the user to change the installation + directory providing an extra wizard page. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``ON`` + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER + + The initial name of the start menu folder being created. + + If this variable is set to ``.``, then no separate folder is created, + application shortcuts will appear in the top-level start menu folder. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: The value of :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME` + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_LANGUAGES + + A :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of languages you want + Inno Setup to include. + + Currently available: ``armenian``, ``brazilianPortuguese``, ``bulgarian``, + ``catalan``, ``corsican``, ``czech``, ``danish``, ``dutch``, ``english``, + ``finnish``, ``french``, ``german``, ``hebrew``, ``icelandic``, ``italian``, + ``japanese``, ``norwegian``, ``polish``, ``portuguese``, ``russian``, + ``slovak``, ``slovenian``, ``spanish``, ``turkish`` and ``ukrainian``. + This list might differ depending on the version of Inno Setup. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``english`` + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_IGNORE_LICENSE_PAGE + + If you don't specify a license file using + :variable:`CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE`, CPack uses a file for demonstration + purposes. If you want the installer to ignore license files at all, you can + enable this option. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``OFF`` + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_IGNORE_README_PAGE + + If you don't specify a readme file using + :variable:`CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README`, CPack uses a file for demonstration + purposes. If you want the installer to ignore readme files at all, you can + enable this option. Make sure the option is disabled when using + a custom readme file. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``ON`` + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_PASSWORD + + Enables password protection and file encryption with the given password. + + :Mandatory: No + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_USE_MODERN_WIZARD + + Enables the modern look and feel provided by Inno Setup. If this option is + turned off, the classic style is used instead. Images and icon files are + also affected. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``OFF`` because of compatibility reasons + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_ICON_FILE + + The path to a custom installer ``.ico`` file. + + Use :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_ICON` to customize the bitmap file being shown + in the wizard. + + :Mandatory: No + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_SETUP_<directive> + + This group allows adapting any of the ``[Setup]`` section directives provided + by Inno Setup where ``directive`` is its name. + + Here are some examples: + + .. code-block:: cmake + + set(CPACK_INNOSETUP_SETUP_WizardSmallImageFile "my_bitmap.bmp") + set(CPACK_INNOSETUP_SETUP_AllowNoIcons OFF) # This requires CPACK_INNOSETUP_USE_CMAKE_BOOL_FORMAT to be on + + All of these variables have higher priority than the others. + Consider the following example: + + .. code-block:: cmake + + set(CPACK_INNOSETUP_SETUP_Password "admin") + set(CPACK_INNOSETUP_PASSWORD "secret") + + The password will be ``admin`` at the end because ``CPACK_INNOSETUP_PASSWORD`` + has less priority than ``CPACK_INNOSETUP_SETUP_Password``. + + :Mandatory: No + + +File Specific Variables +""""""""""""""""""""""" + +Although all files being installed by an :command:`install` instruction are +automatically processed and added to the installer, there are some variables +to customize the installation process. + +Before using executables (only ``.exe`` or ``.com``) in shortcuts +(e.g. :variable:`CPACK_CREATE_DESKTOP_LINKS`) or ``[Run]`` entries, you've to +add the raw file name (without path and extension) to +:variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES` and create a start menu shortcut +for them. + +If you have two files with the same raw name (e.g. ``a/executable.exe`` and +``b/executable.com``), an entry in the section is created twice. This will +result in undefined behavior and is not recommended. + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_CUSTOM_INSTALL_INSTRUCTIONS + + This variable should contain a + :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of pairs ``path``, + ``instruction`` and can be used to customize the install command being + automatically created for each file or directory. + + CPack creates the following Inno Setup instruction for every file... + + .. code-block:: + + Source: "absolute\path\to\my_file.txt"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion + + ...and the following line for every directory: + + .. code-block:: + + Name: "{app}\my_folder" + + You might want to change the destination directory or the flags of + ``my_file.txt``. Since we can also provide a relative path, the line you'd + like to have, is the following: + + .. code-block:: + + Source: "my_file.txt"; DestDir: "{userdocs}"; Flags: ignoreversion uninsneveruninstall + + You would do this by using ``my_file.txt`` as ``path`` and + ``Source: "my_file.txt"; DestDir: "{userdocs}"; Flags: ignoreversion uninsneveruninstall`` + as ``instruction``. + + You've to take care of the `escaping problem <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/book/mastering-cmake/chapter/Packaging%20With%20CPack.html#adding-custom-cpack-options>`_. + So the CMake command would be: + + .. code-block:: cmake + + set(CPACK_INNOSETUP_CUSTOM_INSTALL_INSTRUCTIONS "my_file.txt;Source: \\\"my_file.txt\\\"\\; DestDir: \\\"{userdocs}\\\"\\; Flags: ignoreversion uninsneveruninstall") + + To improve readability, you should go around the escaping problem by using + :variable:`CPACK_VERBATIM_VARIABLES` or by placing the instruction into a + separate CPack project config file. + + If you customize the install instruction of a specific file, you lose the + connection to its component. To go around, manually add + ``Components: <component>``. You also need to add its shortcuts and ``[Run]`` + entries by yourself in a custom section, since the executable won't be found + anymore by :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES`. + + Here's another example (Note: You've to go around the escaping problem for + the example to work): + + .. code-block:: cmake + + set(CPACK_INNOSETUP_CUSTOM_INSTALL_INSTRUCTIONS + "component1/my_folder" "Name: \"{userdocs}\\my_folder\"\; Components: component1" + "component2/my_folder2/my_file.txt" "Source: \"component2\\my_folder2\\my_file.txt\"\; DestDir: \"{app}\\my_folder2\\my_file.txt\"\; Flags: ignoreversion uninsneveruninstall\; Components: component2") + + :Mandatory: No + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_MENU_LINKS + + This variable should contain a + :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of pairs ``link``, + ``link name`` and can be used to add shortcuts into the start menu folder + beside those of the executables (see :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES`). + While ``link name`` is the label, ``link`` can be a URL or a path relative to + the installation directory. + + Here's an example: + + .. code-block:: cmake + + set(CPACK_INNOSETUP_MENU_LINKS + "doc/cmake-@CMake_VERSION_MAJOR@.@CMake_VERSION_MINOR@/cmake.html" + "CMake Help" "https://cmake.org" "CMake Web Site") + + :Mandatory: No + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_CREATE_UNINSTALL_LINK + + If this option is turned on, a shortcut to the application's uninstaller is + automatically added to the start menu folder. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``OFF`` + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_RUN_EXECUTABLES + + A :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of executables being + specified in :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES` which the user can run + when the installer finishes. + + They're internally added to the ``[Run]`` section. + + :Mandatory: No + + +Components Specific Variables +""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" + +The generator supports components and also downloaded components. However, +there are some features of components that aren't supported yet (especially +component dependencies). These variables are ignored for now. + +CPack will change a component's name in Inno Setup if it has a parent group +for technical reasons. Consider using ``group\component`` as component name in +Inno Setup scripts if you have the component ``component`` and its parent +group ``group``. + +Here are some additional variables for components: + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_<compName>_INSTALL_DIRECTORY + + If you don't want the component ``compName`` to be installed under ``{app}``, + you've to specify its installation directory here. + + :Mandatory: No + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_VERIFY_DOWNLOADS + + This option only affects downloaded components. + + If this option is turned on, the hashes of the downloaded archives are + calculated during compile and + download time. The installer will only proceed if they match. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``ON`` + + +Compilation and Scripting Specific Variables +"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_EXECUTABLE + + The filename of the Inno Setup Script Compiler command. + + :Mandatory: Yes + :Default: ``ISCC`` + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_EXECUTABLE_ARGUMENTS + + A :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of extra + command-line options for the Inno Setup Script Compiler command. + + For example: ``/Qp;/Smysigntool=$p`` + + Take care of the `escaping problem <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/book/mastering-cmake/chapter/Packaging%20With%20CPack.html#adding-custom-cpack-options>`_. + + :Mandatory: No + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_DEFINE_<macro> + + This group allows to add custom define directives as command-line options to + the Inno Setup Preprocessor command. Each entry emulates a + ``#define public <macro>`` directive. Its macro is accessible from anywhere + (``public``), so it can also be used in extra script files. + + Macro names must not contain any special characters. Refer to the Inno Setup + Preprocessor documentation for the detailed rules. + + Consider the following example: + + .. code-block:: cmake + + # The following line emulates: #define public MyMacro "Hello, World!" + set(CPACK_INNOSETUP_DEFINE_MyMacro "Hello, World!") + + At this point, you can use ``MyMacro`` anywhere. For example in the following + extra script: + + .. code-block:: + + AppComments={#emit "'My Macro' has the value: " + MyMacro} + + Take care of the `escaping problem <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/book/mastering-cmake/chapter/Packaging%20With%20CPack.html#adding-custom-cpack-options>`_. + + :Mandatory: No + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_EXTRA_SCRIPTS + + A :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of paths to + additional ``.iss`` script files to be processed. + + They're internally included at the top of the output script file using a + ``#include`` directive. + + You can add any section in your file to extend the installer (e.g. adding + additional tasks or registry keys). Prefer using + :variable:`CPACK_INNOSETUP_SETUP_<directive>` when extending the + ``[Setup]`` section. + + :Mandatory: No + +.. variable:: CPACK_INNOSETUP_CODE_FILES + + A :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of paths to + additional Pascal files to be processed. + + This variable is actually the same as + :variable:`CPACK_INNOSETUP_EXTRA_SCRIPTS`, except you don't have to + add ``[Code]`` at the top of your file. Never change the current section in + a code file. This will result in undefined behavior! Treat them as normal + Pascal scripts instead. + + Code files are included at the very bottom of the output script. + + :Mandatory: No |
