Audacity 1.x series

The 1.2 series is very old, having received minor updates over the years. The 1.3 series has for a very long time been in development with only a beta version available. However the authors say of the 1.3 Beta "This is our active version with the latest features and fixes. We recommend this version for more advanced users, and for everyone on Windows 7, Windows Vista". As an example of the move to version 1.3, Ubuntu ships 1.3 rather than 1.2.

Packaging For Audacity 1.2 series

Audacity uses Inno Setup.

        <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Audacity 1.2.6" />
 
        <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\audacity\audacity-win-1.2.6.exe /sp- /silent /norestart' />
 
        <remove  cmd='%PROGRAMFILES%\Audacity\unins000.exe /silent' />
 
    </package>
</packages>


Installing Audacity without desktop shortcut: 
/MERGETASKS="!desktopicon"


Including LAME

If you want to use the LAME encoder (for MP3), copy lame-3.96.1 to %SOFTWARE%\audacity\ and add the following after the Audacity installer has run: 

        <install cmd='cmd /C xcopy "%SOFTWARE%\audacity\lame-3.96.1" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Audacity\lame-3.96.1\" /S /E /Y /Q' />

        <upgrade cmd='cmd /C xcopy "%SOFTWARE%\audacity\lame-3.96.1" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Audacity\lame-3.96.1\" /S /E /Y /Q' />
