'''Inno Setup Script''' is a scripting/configuration language used by Inno Setup, a program written by Jordan Russel that generates [[Windows]] installers.  A script is combined with several other files (mostly constituting the actual program that will be installed) to form the installer, a [[Portable Executable]] file. (For information on the generated files, see [[Inno Setup self-extracting archive]].) 

The current script format uses "a new script syntax" introduced alongside a conversion tool in version 1.1 (1999?).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20010820043906/http://jrsoftware.org/isdlold.htm → Miscellaneous</ref> There does not seem to be any remaining public information on the old syntax.

== Identification ==
There is no hard format for scripts, but most can be expected to have the "Setup" and "Files" sections, which start with lines consisting of {{magic|[Setup]}} and {{magic|[Files]}}, respectively.
