In the cobrand folder (for example, C:\DWebPro\cobrand), you can find an Inno Setup script (http://www.innosetup.com/) and a NSIS script (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/) you can use as a template for your own install packages. Refer to the How To Create An Install Package With DWebPro how-to for more information on install packages creation. |
