File Format
Name Inno Setup Script
Ontology
Extension(s) .iss
Released 1997[1]

Inno Setup Script is a scripting/configuration language used by Inno Setup, a program written by Jordan Russel that generates Windows installers. A script is combined with several other files (mostly constituting the actual program that will be installed) to form the installer, a Portable Executable file. (For information on the generated files, see Inno Setup self-extracting archive.)

The current script format uses "a new script syntax" introduced alongside a conversion tool in version 1.1 (1999?).[2] There does not seem to be any remaining public information on the old syntax.

Identification

There is no hard format for scripts, but most can be expected to have the "Setup" and "Files" sections, which start with lines consisting of [Setup] and [Files], respectively.
