Compile Inno Installer

History of Inno Installer

If you wish to compile the software yourself and do not have Visual Studio you can use Inno Setup. Inno Setup is an open source utility that’s been in active development since 1997. It was created partly in response to the at-the-time sub par InstallShield Express.
