When you created the External Install, there is a selection that tells InnoScript to create a task for your entry. The entry is as stated below:
 
Task Needed:
 
You will need to edit your External Install to select it.

OK, I have turn Safe Mode to ON.
 
BTW, how can I create the task? InnoScripts didn't create it automatically?

No, I meant this line:
 
Source: C:\WINDOWS\system32\stdole2.tlb; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: regtypelib restartreplace uninsneveruninstall;  
 
You had to turn SAFE MODE off to get InnoScript to do this. There is a reason it's called SAFE MODE. This file is unsafe to deploy if you have not done the research to find out if it can be deployed and to what OS.
 
Yes you created an External install but you did not tell InnoScript to create the associated task to go with it. You have to select to create the task if you add one.

Do you mean this row?
Source: C:WINDOWSInstaller$PatchCache$Managed00002109030000000000000000F01FEC12.0.4518MSCOMCTL.OCX; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: regserver restartreplace sharedfile;  
 
 
InnoScript automatically create that, but if I run at my home, that row doesn't exist, so I didn't know which one is right.
 
I click External Installs and I choose file installer mySQL, but I don't know what parameter should I type.

BTW: You should not be getting files directly form you system areas. There is a whole section on that... There is also a message each time you run InnoScript about this and what to do about it. This is asking for trouble down the road if you do this.
 
You also had to go thru a procedure to get InnoScript and Inno Setup to ignore this. This is very bad to do.

Ok, so how did this line get into your script. You just gave an error message without telling the full story.

I cannot tell what the error is by looking at only part of the script (especially since that is not where the error starts). That would be like looking at the tires on a car to determine why the engine will not start...
 
We need to see the whole script... Please post the complete script

Yes I have opened Help-Documentation but still have this problems....  
 

Many of your questions (with examples) can be answered in the documentation (Help->Documentation).
 
You can create anything that you want. A pre-installer is simply another installer that you run first before you main installer. It does not differ much from the main installer except it runs the main installer.

Hello.... any advice to my question? I try input mySQL installer in External Installs but it error cause GroupDescription must be fill and I already fill it with mySQL Database but still have error.
 
Or I have to install it manually?
 
Thanks.

Dear randem,
 
Is Innoscript able to create preinstaller?
Here is the problem I want to create installer:
1. mySQL install first
2. automatically create database by execute SQL script
3. automatically install my software
 
Any simple tutorial how can I do this using InnoScript 11.1.17? Many thanks.
