Construct 2

Construct 2 is a proprietary video game construction tool for Windows, available from https://www.scirra.com/. There is a naggy free version and a paid version -- this installs the free version.

The program uses the Inno Setup installer.

When you download the installer the website appends a mysterious number to the installer's filename. You can probably rename the file to something standard, or you can include the mysterious number in your XML file (which is what I do). For example, the installer below was for the file "construct2-r139-setup_17015022.exe"

<packages>
<package
  id="Construct2"
  name="Construct 2"
  revision="%version%"
  reboot="false"
  priority="20">
 
  <!-- Don't include the "r" in "r138" -->
  <variable name="version" value="139" />

  <!-- The package adds some number to the filename, which can be -->
  <!-- different even for the same version of the software! -->
  <variable name="suffixnum" value="17015022" />
 
  <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Construct 2 r%version%" />
 
  <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Construct2\construct2-r%version%-setup_%suffixnum%.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART ' />
 
  <upgrade include="install" />

  <remove cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\Construct 2\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART' >
    <exit code="1" />
  </remove>
</package>
