# Building a TiXL Installer
|
|
|
|
We use [Inno Setup](https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) to generate a `.exe` installer that includes all dependencies and installs the Windows Graphics Tools.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Build (One Click)
|
|
|
|
1. Install [Inno Setup](https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php).
|
|
2. Open `Installer/installer.iss` in Inno Setup.
|
|
3. Click the Play button.
|
|
|
|
This automatically runs `build-release.ps1` which publishes the Player and builds the full solution in Release mode before packaging the installer. The output is created at `Installer/Output/`.
|
|
|
|
## Manual Build (Step by Step)
|
|
|
|
If you need to build without Inno Setup, or want to run steps individually:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# From the repository root:
|
|
pwsh Installer/build-release.ps1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This runs:
|
|
1. `dotnet restore`
|
|
2. `dotnet publish` for the Player (self-contained, win-x64) to `Player/bin/ReleasePublished/`
|
|
3. `dotnet build -c Release` for the full solution (Editor post-build copies the published Player into its output)
|
|
|
|
The result is a complete build in `Editor/bin/Release/net10.0-windows/`.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
The build script automatically downloads these into `Installer/dependencies/downloads/` if not already present:
|
|
|
|
* [.NET SDK 10.0.201](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/10.0)
|
|
* [Visual C++ Redistributable](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe)
|
|
|
|
The installer bundles them and installs them on the user's machine if needed.
