[offtopic] help on installation of templates

[HJarausch]

Hi,
I have prepared some templates under my own user.
Now I'd like to create an installer (InnoSetup) which installs these templates on the target machines of
my students. Since I have no experience with InnoSetup and only very little experience with Windows (I'm a Linux fan),
I'm in need for some help.

Many thanks,
Helmut.

For Windows, you can use this InnoSetup script (edit it to fit your needs):

Code: Select all

; Script generated by the Inno Setup Script Wizard.
; SEE THE DOCUMENTATION FOR DETAILS ON CREATING INNO SETUP SCRIPT FILES!

AppName=CodeLite
AppVerName=CodeLite
AppPublisherURL=http://codelite.sourceforge.net
AppSupportURL=http://codelite.sourceforge.net
AppUpdatesURL=http://codelite.sourceforge.net
DefaultDirName={pf}\CodeLite
DefaultGroupName=CodeLite
OutputDir=output
OutputBaseFilename=codelite

For Linux, prepare a .deb or rpm file (you will need to google for how its done) - you can assist codelite scripts' make_deb.sh for this purpose

Many thanks!
Linux is easy - Windows is hard (unless it works out of the box)
