Thanks for the update.

I'm just finding out how useful the user tasks really are! Excellent.

I've hided some (not easy) power features in the user tasks.

Another donation is on it's way. EasySetup is well worth the money!

Thorsten,

you might want to update the user manual to reflect the fact that the %installdir% variable can be used as a value when adding registry entries etc.

It certainly works okay.

Thanks.

'%InstallDir%' is the same as '%ProgDir%'.

I've added '(= %InstallDir%)' to the manual
But '%LanguageID%' was missing in the manual (UserTask: INI)

When I create a install for my 139k app, the final product is a 2.7mb file. I think this is not correct. The install is standard except the custom bitmap which is a 17k jpeg. Also, the "Required disk space" reports I will need 5.29mb. Any ideas as to why this is so large?

Take a look the selected source directory.
It may contain only the files and directories, which shall be installed.

MUCH better... now only 180k. This is a very good application! The same parameters in Inno Setup resulted in a 450k setup file (with a custom image used - the same with EasySetup).

Well, I'm hooked.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Take a look to menu 'Extras - Update Source Directory'.
So you can automaticly update your files in the source directory.
