Goal

NetDTL-installer packages the files, assets and helper scripts needed to deploy the NetDTL environment on a Windows workstation.

Prepare the Environment

Check that the project files are complete.
Install Inno Setup on the build workstation.
Review the assets folder and dependency scripts.
Confirm the expected application version in the setup script.

Build the Installer

Setup script

The installer is described by NetDTL_Setup.iss. This file contains metadata, copied files and setup behavior.

Generated package

Inno Setup produces a Windows executable installer from the setup script.

Install NetDTL

Run the generated installer on the target workstation with appropriate rights. The installation copies the configured files and can prepare runtime dependencies through the provided scripts.

Check After Installation

Verify that installed files are present in the expected folder.
Check that required dependencies are available.
Open NetDTL or its local entry point according to the deployment context.

Troubleshooting

If dependency installation fails, check PowerShell execution policy and network access.
If the installer cannot write files, run it with appropriate permissions.
If the package version is wrong, update the setup script before building again.
If files are missing, verify the assets and source paths referenced by the installer.
