DProj2WinSetup is a generator of installation programs for Windows software developed under Delphi (in a recent version).
Installers are created in several stages:
- Analysis of Delphi project options to determine the list of files to be packaged and their location (origin and destination).
- Signing of executable programs, DLLs and other files likely to trigger alerts when used under Windows via Exe Bulk Signing's client/server mode, which must be installed on the developer's workstation or a network computer on which the code-signing certificates or CSC tokens are located.
- Generation of the installation script in an ISS file in the format requested by Inno Setup.
- Launch of installer generation via Inno Setup, which must be installed on the developer's workstation and accessible from DProj2WinSetup.
- Signing of the generated installation programs, also using Exe Bulk Signing.
The aim is to simplify installer generation as much as possible for basic Delphi projects.
This code repository contains a project developed in Object Pascal language under Delphi. You don't know what Delphi is and where to download it ? You'll learn more on this web site.
Follow my development streams of software, video games, mobile applications and websites on my Twitch channel or as replays on Serial Streameur mostly in French.
This software is available in a directly installable or executable production version. It is distributed as shareware.
You can download and redistribute it free of charge, provided you do not modify its content (installer, program, additional files, etc.).
If you use this software regularly and are satisfied with it, you are invited to purchase an end-user license. Purchasing a license will give you access to software updates, as well as enabling optional features.
You can also visit the software website to find out more about how it works, access videos and articles, find out about the different versions available and their features, contact user support...
To download this code repository, we recommend using "git", but you can also download a ZIP file directly from its GitHub repository.
This project uses dependencies in the form of sub-modules. They will be absent from the ZIP file. You'll have to download them by hand.
- DeveloppeurPascal/AboutDialog-Delphi-Component must be installed in the ./lib-externes/AboutDialog-Delphi-Component subfolder.
- DeveloppeurPascal/ExeBulkSigning must be installed in the ./lib-externes/ExeBulkSigning subfolder.
- DeveloppeurPascal/librairies must be installed in the ./lib-externes/librairies subfolder.
- DeveloppeurPascal/Socket-Messaging-Library must be installed in the ./lib-externes/Socket-Messaging-Library subfolder.
- TurboPack/DOSCommand must be installed in the ./lib-externes/DOSCommand subfolder.
To run, the program requires access to Exe Bulk Signing (in server mode on the same workstation or on the local network) and Inno Setup (on the same computer).
As an Embarcadero MVP, I benefit from the latest versions of Delphi and C++ Builder in RAD Studio as soon as they are released. I therefore work with these versions.
Normally, my libraries and components should also run on at least the current version of Delphi Community Edition.
There's no guarantee of compatibility with earlier versions, even though I try to keep my code clean and avoid using too many of the new ways of writing in it (type inference, inline var and multiline strings).
If you detect any anomalies on earlier versions, please don't hesitate to report them so that I can test and try to correct or provide a workaround.
