MakeSIS
- the installation file generator
Installation files are created using MakeSIS.exe
, based on
a specification defined in a package file.
The diagram below provides an overview of how MakeSIS is used.
The package file (.pkg
) defines the location of the source
files on the PC, the target path and filename, and other installation
information. The process of preparing components for installation is therefore:
Develop an application
Debug/test application on the emulator.
Create a package file.
Run the Installation File Generator on the package file.
Sign the the installation file using the Installation File Signer.
