Customize and build the Windows installer

Translations

Most of the translations for the installer are taken directly from the installer generator Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php).

You can add translations for CopyQ-specific messages in shared/copyq.iss. Just copy lines starting with en. from [Custom Messages] section and change prefix to de. (for german translation).

Modify and Test Installation

Normally the installation file is generated automatically by Appveyor which executes appveyor-after-build.bat to generate portable app folder from build files and runs Inno Setup (the last line).

So you basically don't have to build the app, you just need:

• the unzipped portable version of the app,
• clone of this repository and
• Inno Setup.

Open shared/copyq.iss in Inno Setup and add few lines at the beginning of the file.

#define AppVersion 2.8.1-beta
#define Source C:\path\to\CopyQ-repository-clone
#define Destination C:\path\to\CopyQ-portable

You should now be able to modify the file in Inno Setup and run it easily.
