Replacing files in compiled setups
Is it possible to replace a single file in a ready-made setup ?


This would be great :)

I don't think it's possible in the normal way, Perhaps you can add the file you want to replace at the end of the exe file and then open it during the install.

Why do you want to do that ??

I only need to replace a single file in an existing setup-programm. Since the project's development proceeds each day, I would have to get the last release version from the source control. These are about 130 libraries. Translate them all, build and test the setup. Then get the current version from the source control.

Is there a way to 'unpack' the setup, replace a file and the pack the setup ?

yes there is , you can use a tracer,

You run the tracer
You run your 'setup'
the tracer gives you all the files and registers who where changed during the install, with that , you can pack a new setup with the replacing file.

Sorry i don't have names for tracers , search on google
