Q: What is this package?
A: This package contains Mitrich Software's Inno Download Plugin in its entirety, source code included.
Q: Isn't there already Tools.InnoSetup.Download by J Wyman that does the same?
A: While the contents of the two packages are practically the same, this package also defines a MSBuild property InnoDownloadPluginDir
containing the full path (without a trailing backslash) to the directory where idp.iss
is located.
Q: The NuGet client will already create a PkgTools_InnoDownloadPlugin
property for that. What's the point of having one more property?
A: NuGet's Pkg_*
properties are only available during "inner" builds, i.e. when the TargetFramework
property is available. InnoDownloadPluginDir
is always available: for example, you cannot use PkgTools_InnoDownloadPlugin
in a Pack
target, but you can use InnoDownloadPluginDir
. As a matter of fact, this package was created specifically to integrate Inno Download Plugin in the "alternate Pack" feature of Buildvana SDK.
