## Detailed Description

The `innosetup` module contains properties and rules for building EXE setup packages with Inno Setup. Inno Setup 5 and above are supported.

Note: A typical Inno Setup Script includes an `OutputBaseFilename` command to set the filename of the generated installer executable. However, Qbs overrides any `OutputBaseFilename` commands found in the script by passing the `/F` option to the ISCC compiler, and therefore, you must use the Product.targetName property to set the filename. Qbs also overrides any `Output` commands by passing the `/O` option to the ISCC compiler.

### Relevant File Tags

Tag | Auto-tagged File Names | Since | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
`"innosetup.iss"` | `"*.iss"` | 1.7 | Source files with this tag identify Inno Setup Script files, which serve as inputs to a rule invoking the Inno Setup Script Compiler.
`"innosetup.exe"` | n/a | 1.7 | The rule that creates Inno Setup executable files attaches this tag (as well as the "application" tag) to its output artifact.

## Property Documentation

compilerFlags : stringList

The full path of the compiler binary.

This property should not normally need to be changed.

Default: `compilerName`
