Updated documentation

**lawmay** · December 2, 2005

Hi,

A. Updated documentation

At the very bottom of our Inno Setup page, the link "clicking here" is broken. Here are two solutions:

I posted on appdeploy.com, or

(2) Host my html code (attached below) and link to it rather than my text-only documentation.

I recommend (2). I find my html version (2) (attached below) more legible, since it contains formatting missing from my text-only version (1).

The documentation comes from the help file (ISetup.hlp 11/17/05) distributed with Inno Setup 5.1.6 (11/18/05).

B. Future contributions

I have other suggestions for revising pages at unattended.msfn.org. Should I continue

to post my html code on this list, or should I submit my suggestions elsewhere?

Greetings,

Larry

 uninstallation, and at the end, terminates the original uninstaller EXE (at which point you get an exit code
 back), deletes it, then displays the "uninstall complete" message box (if it hasn't been suppressed

Soon, Soon.

However, feel free to make other suggestions. Though, if you post more HTML, do ATTACH it instead of copy pasting.

I finished coding the new site, however, I just havent had time to do anything with it. I originally had two projects for school due this week, and have been busting butt to finish them

HTML instead of code. It's your friend.
