Hi Oliver, Thanks for all suggestions.
A bit of background: I am 100% linux user/developer. Since Windows people want to run some of my applications and since most Windows users are not capable of installing perl and modules and so on I figured out how to use PAR (pp) and InnoSetup to produce something that is point and click installable and runnable. Even though not optimal I'm glad I could get so far... And users are happy. On Fri, 24 Apr 2020 20:07:39 +0200, Oliver Betz wrote: > par is good in doing this selection.

You must be joking :) See e.g. https://johan.vromans.org/extra/perlapp/pres/index.html and its successor: https://johan.vromans.org/extra/pda2018/pres/index.html > InnoSetup can do this unpacking at least as well.

This would be a nice advantage. Am I the only one trying to do this? Are there other PAR/InnoSetup users here that have templates and/or examples? -- Johan
