Default Creating an installation file

I have used InnoSetup to distribute XLS files, XLA files and OCX files.

Once you compile your script, look for a folder called Output which gets
added to the folder where your script is. There will be a file called
setup.exe -- rename this to something more appropriate, if you like.

Hello,

I have recently completed an Excel Add-In and I would like to
distribute it. In scouring ways to do this, I came across in this
forum a suggestion to use "Inno Setup" (by Jordan Russell) which is an
awesome installer program.

That said, I don't know how to bundle everything (my Add-In and
associated workbooks) into one simple setup file that I could actually
deploy to users.

Does anybody know what to do once they have compiled their
installation program in Inno Setup? For instance, FreeExtractor
actually bundles everything into a nice setup when it is done. While
I like this program a lot, there are features in Inno Setup that I
would prefer to use.

Any advice on using Inno Setup would be much appreciated.

-Silas
