Hi There!
I know I dont know much about coding but I managed to figure out how to create a simple setup programme for my java programme "Maxi Directory" This Topic will explain all the variables and what they mean.
Firstly, lets take a look at my code:

[Setup]
AppName=MaxiDirectory
AppVerName=Maxi Directory Version 1.1
DefaultDirName={pf}\Maxi Directory
DefaultGroupName=Maxi directory
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\MyProg.exe
Compression=lzma
SolidCompression=yes

[Files]
Source: "MaxiDirectory.app"; DestDir: "{app}"
Source: "Read Me First!.txt"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: isreadme

[Icons]
Name: "{group}\My Program"; Filename: "{app}\MyProg.exe"


Now what do all these variables mean?
AppName Is The Name Of your Aplication
AppVerName isn't needed but is the Verified name
DefaultDirName Is The Name Of The Programme when it is installed
DefaultGroupName Is the name of the Programme on The Start Menu
UninstallDisplayIcon Is The Icon Of The unninstall
Compression Im not surewhat that is but just leave it as Izma
SolidCompression Is Whether the file is compressed solidly or not

[Files] Is The Files the setup is going to install on the computer

[Icons] The Icon on the desktop

I hope this Explination helps, feel free to copy and paste the example code and edit it to your liking!

Please Comment!
