I recently got a new Windows 10 computer.
I installed 6.0.5 along with script studio, and F1 help from inside script studio didn't work (grayed out on the menu).
I tried installing 6.0.5 for the current user and all users, and that didn't make any difference.
So I uninstalled 6.0.5 and installed 5.5.9 and F1 help is working.

I also found that script studio needed me to manually set the folder where the compiler is located (Tools/Options).

I suppose both problems might in the script studio installer. INNO 5.5.9 installed script studio 2.3.0.
I did not note what 6.0.5 installed for script studio.
Anyhow, INNO 5.5.9 and Script Studio 2.3.0 appear to be working normally.

Regards,
Brian Murphy

Inno Script Studio is a 3rd party product, which hasn't been updated with IS 6 support (although it does work once you set the compiler folder).

Hello.

Inno Script studio is outdated and does not support newest Inno Setup.

Feel free to use my 3rd party tools:Visual & Installer / RAD & Installer   https://jrsoftware.org/is3rdparty.php which are maintained regularly.

Thanks for the email, t.slappy.  I use visual studio for some of my projects, so I will take a look at your tool.

In the next version the QuickStart Pack registers the Inno Setup compiler path in the Inno Script Studio options so that it will find the Inno Setup compiler automatically.

Would it make sense for the next Inno Setup release to replace all
codepage-specific .isl files with UTF-8 .islu files? Since ANSI
version of Inno Setup is no longer available, not having to deal with
codepages would make it much simpler to deal with extra translations
in a project where we use Inno Setup.

I don't understand. You can use UTF8 for extra translations regardless of whether the translator of the main files used UTF8 or not?

BTW, .islu doesn't exist anymore. You cN just always use. isl.

I was testing this, but the encoding was messed up.

Hi,

A new version of Inno Script Studio that works with IS6 has been released. On launch it will now attempt to detect the IS6 install location, before falling back to try the IS5 install location. If neither are found then the user will be prompted to configure the folder location.

How does it work for those who are using both IS 5 and 6?

Hi Elvind,

There wont be any difference for people that use both versions of IS as you would need to change the compiler location manually to switch between IS versions anyway. There are some changes being worked on for a future version that will make using multiple versions of IS easier.

Thank you for supporting IS 5, I've "upgraded" to the IS 6 several times now and every time I keep going back to IS 5 to get everything working when non-administrative users install applications that require administrative privileges.

This problem description isn't much help, unfortunately. I would recommend writing a short installer script that contains the minimum amount of code needed to reproduce the problem, create a new post, paste your code, and then describe the exact problem you're having. Log detail is also helpful.
