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.
