Is it possible to script that during installation to download files from a web server with Inno Setup?

  • I would personally prefer [`Inno Download Plugin`](https://code.google.com/p/inno-download-plugin/) at this time (as @Jens pointed out). However, built-in [`support`](https://github.com/jrsoftware/issrc/issues/23) would be the best. – TLama Apr 06 '15 at 10:36

Take a look at the InnoTools Downloader (http://www.sherlocksoftware.org/page.php?id=50).

InnoTools Downloader, recommended by the accepted answer, has not been updated since 2008. It does not work with Unicode version of Inno Setup (so it does not work with Unicode-only Inno Setup 6) and does not support HTTPS (among other). Do not use it.

Use Inno Setup 6.1 built-in support for downloads. See Inno Setup: Install file from Internet.

An old answer (before Inno Setup 6.1): I'm re-posting the answer by @Jens A. Koch, which has been deleted by moderator for some reason:

You might use the Inno Download Plugin by Mitrich Software.

  • It's an Inno Setup script and DLL, which allows you to download files as part of your installation.
  • It supports FTP, HTTP and HTTPS.
  • It's kind of a drop-in replacement for InnoTools Downloader. Only few changes required.
  • It brings a decent download display and HTTPS and Mirror(s) support.

There's also DwinsHs (Downloader for Inno Setup). And Inno Setup 6.1 will support downloads nativelly.
