Repacking APPS

Hi may I ask some questions here, I hope.
Is there also an Inno App creator made on this site ?
Everything I see is for Games.
Maybe someone has an App .iss script for me or a program to easily repack app's.

Greatz

You can see things only for games but you can also use it to repackage apps or whatever you want.

Yes it might, but maybe someone has created an Inno program specifically for Repacking apps.
Most programs here are focused on Games.
Apps repacking is still a lot of work otherwise.
Thanks for your message.

When you focus on repackaging apps. I think you can use "Advanced Installer" instead. because it brings some facilities, especially for repackaging apps.

Yes I know that one already, but I am trying with Inno setup.

Well, what "features" do you need for a inno script for repacking apps?

I was hoping for a program like this on the fileforums.com forum from user Suryam.
SICT(Simple Inno Creator Tool) It is A Tool Where You Can Create Your Own Repack With No Coding Just Compress And Compile And Then Done !

I am looking for a program or something to repack an app in an easy way.
I've done VLC media player now.
But I am also looking for .iss scripts of apps e.g. Winrar, Foxitreader etc. (just change it to the latest version and done).

Oops you are the creator of the app Custom Installer Ultimate v3.

Do you have something like this for making apps ?

I think the usual stuff. like,
  • Creating some new registry for the relevant software.
  • Registering DLL files.
etc.

Do you have anything maybe ?
You cannot just repack "VLC media player" without coding. This is because if you want a full-featured repackaging, you will need to create some registry files and register some DLL files.

Yes but I don't know how or if I should do that yet.
Should I do that with 1 of these apps ?
Reg From App
RegShot
RegistryChangesView v1.27
And then add that in Inno ?

Well, in nature Inno Setup was build especially for this stuff - prepare software installers (to be fair, "software" also include games).

If you want to repack your software (apps), you just need just a few sections actually.

[Setup], [Files], [Registry]

I suggest to read the IS help about this sections, their layout and parameters to use to register your app (via registry and/or dll for example).

First of all, in this particullar case, you should know what types of registry VCL registers when installing, and of course what DLL files the VCL installer register on windows OS (most likely some codecs for audio/video playback).

Ok thanks.
That's why I asked for a program that might make it easy.

But then how can I know what all the app writes to in the registry ?
without using an app.

Like I said before, to find out which registry are created, install your app through "Advanced Installer repackaging", it will take a snapshot instantly. Then you can figure out everything.
