Inno Setup - How to hide certain file names during installation? (Filenamelabel)

Question

I want to hide certain file names (not all) during installation ( FilenameLabel ).

I saw this Hide file names on the Inno Setup progress page . Is it possible?

Answer 1

Some options you have:

• The only right decision is not to install files that you do not want to display using the [Files] section. Install them using the code. Use ExtractTemporaryFile and FileCopy functions.

  An example of implementation see

  • Install the file in the Inno Setup Pascal installer using the FileCopy function (do not show the installation in the form of a wizard) or
  • Inno Setup - Avoid displaying sub-installer file names .

• Or hide the files you don't want to show from FilenameLabel to CurInstallProgressChanged . Although it is likely to show the name briefly.

• Or hide the actual label and create a custom one, as shown in Hide file names on the Inno Setup progress page . In CurInstallProgressChanged copy the name of the file that you want to display from hidden to a custom shortcut.
