Hi Gordy,
I can confirm Dale's advice,
Be careful with the Inno Setup NGs. Many of the responders only know the
words;
"Read the help file"
The text below is an Inno Setup script I used for installing one of our
programs. I tried to post it as a file, but the file posting on the NG
still doesn't work for me.
Watch the word wrap as Inno Setup uses long lines
It should help you get started.
