Inno Setup can be scripted. The Gregorio project uses Inno Setup to create its out-of-sequence Windows installer and I scripted it into a make target. It requires wine to run on my MacOS machine, so the essential line in the recipe is: `wine 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 6\ISCC.exe’ gregorio.iss` ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Fr. Samuel, OSB (R.
