Ok i notice this @JLogan3o13, I thought it might interest someone in a future search. ++

Hi, I do it with InnoSetup when i generate a Windows Setup. To do this, it is based on the GUID (global unique identifier) defined in the InnoSetup script. It is important not to change the code between different application versions and that it is unique. The IDE provided by InnoSetup provides a tool to generate a new one accessible via the menu: Tools> Generate GUID inside the IDE. ; NOTE: The value of AppId uniquely identifies this application. ; Do not use the same AppId value in installers for other applications. ; (To generate a new GUID, click Tools | Generate GUID inside the IDE.) #define ApplicationGUID "1234687ZE-AAB5-48766-BCD5-FERZAERDS" #define ApplicationID ApplicationName + "_" + ApplicationGUID In addition, the installer adds the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{#ApplicationID}_is1 key into the Windows registry. When the application is uninstalled, this key is removed. So we just have to check the presence of this key in the registry to know if the application has already been installed. And i add in the section of ISS script this : [Code] function InitializeSetup(): Boolean; var ResultCode: Integer; ResultStr:string; begin // Check if the application is already install // MsgBox('ApplicationID = ' + '{#ApplicationID}', mbInformation, mb_Ok); begin If RegQueryStringValue(HKLM, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{#ApplicationID}_is1', 'UninstallString', ResultStr) then begin If ResultStr<>'' then begin ResultStr:=RemoveQuotes(ResultStr); if MsgBox('{#ApplicationName} ' + ExpandConstant('{cm:CheckInstall}') + #13#13 + ExpandConstant('{cm:CheckInstallAction}'), mbConfirmation, MB_YESNO) = idYes then if not Exec(ResultStr, '/silent', '', SW_SHOW, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode) then MsgBox('Erreur !!! ' #13#13 '' + SysErrorMessage(ResultCode) + '.', mbError, MB_OK); end; end; end ; Result := True; end; (...)

Hi, I describe an another solution here ++

Hi, I propose a solution to package an AutoIt application and create a Windows Installer with InnoSetup, as describe here : https://v20100v.github.io/autoit-gui-skeleton/documentation/creating-setup-package-autoit-application Some great features have been implemented within : Generate package (archive zip) and Windows setup. Support internationalization (i18n). Check if application is already install. Configure additional messages in the setup like: license agreement, prerequisites and history project. Add icons application into Windows start menu. Launch custom command after the end of the installation. Easy to customize and change graphic elements of the Windows installer (setup). A Windows batch is used to generate the Windows Setup (create output temp directory, compilation Au3, copy assets, and make setup with ISS script) Have Fun, ++
