Trying to get Installer template to work

**Dave Scarface** · April 21, 2008, 10:37 AM

Hi all,

I downloaded Unspoken Knights Installer template which is for Kingdoms mods. And am trying to figure out how to get it to work. I followed all of the instructions and then get to the end bit where it says add your mod info to the innosetup_script.iss and then compile it. Only I have no idea what program I should use to open this file? I tried opening it in notepad but then I do not know how to make a compile of it? Anyone have any idea how to use something like this? Here is the link to the download I'm speaking of below.

Here is the readme instructions below. Thanks to anyone if you can help. I already sent Unspoken Knight a private message but he does not log on very frequently and I want to release my new patch update as soon as possible

InstallerTemplate\innosetup_script.iss

· Open "InstallerTemplate\innosetup_script.iss" in the Inno Setup Compiler.
· Change the values of the following defines (at the top of the script) to suit your mod.

· #define __MOD_PATH "mods\ModName" (Mod Path Name)
· #define __MOD_DISPLAY_NAME "Mod Name" (Display Name)
· #define __MOD_VERSION "1.0" (Mod Version)
· #define __MOD_CONFIG "medieval2.ModName.cfg" (Config file to launch with)
· #define __MOD_OUTPUT_NAME "ModInstaller" (Output name of the compiled installer)
· #define __MOD_ID "0005ModName" (Unique Registry Mod Key)
· #define __MOD_AUTHOR "Mod Author" (Registry key for mod author)

· OPTIONAL: If you have omitted the campaign and/or battle files from the data directory and wish to have the installer copy them from the vanilla install path, uncomment the appropriate entries under the [Components] and [Files] sections. You can also uncomment the appropriate entries to allow the installer to copy save games from the vanilla install path.
· Compile the script.

Guess you didn't read this line:

This is an installer template that can be used for creating installers for Medieval II Total War : Kingdoms mods. It uses the free Inno Setup Compiler (http://www.jrsoftware.org/) and builds an installer executable for a mod that uses the kingdoms.exe.
