RAD & Installer - RAD Studio expert for creating NSIS and Inno Setup installers

This section contains the most latest information about RAD & Installer. The most recent version is at the top.

Notes

• We recommend to use keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking the GUI icons:
• Compile (Build)
  Save script files before build the project with Build (Shift + F9) or Compile (Ctrl + F9) shortcuts (with Save script files option).
• Run last successful build
  Run last successful build with Run (F9) or Run Without Debugging (Shift + Ctrl + F9) shortcuts.
• Run the resulting installer automatically after compilation set "Run Installer" action to "Yes" in Project Properties (Right click the .nsisproj or .innoproj).
• We recommend to run the IDE as administrator to avoid many files related issues (writing to protected folders, ...)
• RAD & Installer is now available also through GetIt Package Manager
  GetIt Package Manager (in RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin, 10.2 Tokyo, ...)
• An AV Exception may occur when closing IDE (bds.exe). Mostly because of conflict with other IDE experts. Sorry for this inconvenience.
