Since: Qbs 1.7

Properties

Detailed Description

The innosetup module contains properties and rules for building EXE setup packages with Inno Setup. Inno Setup 5 and above are supported.

Note: A typical Inno Setup Script includes an OutputBaseFilename command to set the filename of the generated installer executable. However, Qbs overrides any OutputBaseFilename commands found in the script by passing the /F option to the ISCC compiler, and therefore, you must use the Product.targetName property to set the filename. Qbs also overrides any Output commands by passing the /O option to the ISCC compiler.
