Close Combat Last Stand Arnhem Mod Installer version 0.01

Based on the wonderful Inno Setup Installer from Jordan Russel.
You can read more and download it here: http://www.innosetup.com/isinfo.php

This installer is meant to help the modding community with creating a unique structure for further mods.
A mod installed with this installer will create the mod directory beneath your Close Combat Last Stand Arnhem folder.
It will create an additonal folder called mods with a subdirectory of the same name as the mod directory.
The reason for this is to store the uninstall files mod specific.
Additional the installer will create/use one registry setting (HKLM\Software\CCLSA\Mods\CCLSAPath) to store the
latest selected Close Combat Last Stand Arnhem installation directory.
The file readme.txt file and the mod.ico will be copied to the mod directory and shortcuts will be created.

Now what do you need ?

You need the CCLSAModInstaller.zip You can get it at Matrixgames.
Extract it.

Copy your mod directories (for example DATA, Games, GRAPHICS, localfx, MAPS) into the mod folder.

Edit the edits\install.ini file. There's an example already included.

If you wish you can create your own bitmaps for the left bitmap as well as for the icon of the installer or
the desktop shortcut.

At the moment I have included stuff from the original Matrix Close Combat Last Stand Arnhem game. I hope that this is ok.

In short, all files in the edits folder are to be customized but are needed !

When you are done please just run the file BuildMod.cmd
It will create a file in the output directory. Please test it ;)


Important !!!!!

If you know that you may create a second/third/... version of your mod please use always the same name in the file install.ini

The file WizardLeftImage.bmp has to be: 165 * 315
The file WizardSmallImage.bmp has to be: 32 * 32

The Mod.ico is the windows icon for the desktop shortcut.
The ModInstaller.ico is the windows icon for the created installer file.

Suggestions or questions are welcome !
