Building for inclusion in installer

Mon Oct 19, 2020 3:22 pm

I am currently using NSIS but am now looking to create an MSI installer.
As part of my installer build I am running scripts to generate help files etc that will be included in the installer.
Is this possible with this tool, i.e. I want the tool to run a script to build a file for inclusion.
Thanks

Hello Andy and welcome to our forums,
As part of my installer build I am running scripts to generate help files etc that will be included in the installer.
Is this possible with this tool, i.e. I want the tool to run a script to build a file for inclusion.
Yes, it is possible to achieve that. For this, you can use our predefined support for "Pre and Post Build events".

You can define such events by going to "Builds" page --> "Build Events" tab.

Hope this helps!
