  • Extensive support for installation of 64-bit applications on the 64-bit editions of Windows. Both the x64 and Itanium architectures are supported. (On the Itanium architecture, Service Pack 1 or later is required on Windows Server 2003 to install in 64-bit mode.)

  • Includes integrated support for "deflate", bzip2, and 7-Zip LZMA/LZMA2 file compression. The installer has the ability to compare file version info, replace in-use files, use shared file counting, register DLL/OCX's and type libraries, and install fonts.
  • Creation of shortcuts anywhere, including in the Start Menu and on the desktop.
  • Creation of registry and .INI entries.
  • Running other programs before, during or after install.

  • Integrated preprocessor option for advanced compile-time customization.
  • Integrated Pascal scripting engine option for advanced run-time install and uninstall customization.

Inno Setup 6.0.3 changelog:

  • /LOG: Now logs Windows compatibility mode when this is activated by the user.

  • Added new [Setup] section directive: SignToolRunMinimized.

  • [Setup] section directive UsePreviousLanguage now also has an effect when the Select

  • Language dialog is not displayed because Setup is for example running silently.

  • Checkboxes displayed by lists now look better on high DPI systems.

Compiler IDE changes:

  • Added Dark theme support to the toolbar.

  • When paused on a breakpoint in the [Code] section the new "Debug Call Stack" view now shows the call stack.

  • The "Compiler Output" and "Debug Output" views now support multi selection, an extra Select All popup menu item and Ctrl+C and Ctrl+A keyboard shortcuts. The Copy action now only copies the selected lines instead of all lines.

Inno Setup Preprocessor (ISPP) changes:

  • Array variables declared with #dim can now be initialized directly, like #dim MyArray[3] {1, 2, 3} for example.

  • Added new predefined variable Tab.

Pascal Scripting change:

  • Added new Set8087CW and Get8087CW support functions.

Some messages have been added in this version: (View differences in Default.isl)

  • PrepareToInstallNeedsRestart: This message is used by the Preparing to Install wizard page if a restart is needed. If this message is not set by a translation, Setup will instead use FinishedRestartLabel and FinishedRestartMessage as before.
  • ComponentsDiskSpaceGBLabel and DiskSpaceGBLabel: These messages are used by Setup to display required disk spaces of 1000.0 MB or more in gigabytes instead of in megabytes. If these messages are not set by a translation, Setup will instead use ComponentsDiskSpaceMBLabel and DiskSpaceMBLabel as before.

Other changes:

  • Added official Slovak translation.
  • Minor tweaks and cosmetic fixes.
