TkInstaller

Create an installer for your application using TkInstaller!

How to use TkInstaller

  1. Create a zip or 7z archive containing your application, as well as any data files you need to include.
  2. Modify the installer_config.ini to point to your archive, and change any settings necessary.
  3. Next you can test the installer by executing it with your Python environment.
  4. If it succeeds in installing your app to the location of your choosing, run the included build.py to package it all up. You can then distribute the resulting installer .EXE however you desire.

Configuration

  • Change the title, version, and logo of your application by modifying the installer_config.ini.
  • The installer uses placeholders for Local Programs and Program Files, it is suggested that you don't change the @variable@ parts unless you know what you're doing.
  • Make sure to set compressed_app_path to the name of your compressed archive containing your application. Ensure app_exe_name matches the EXE you're trying to install, or the "Run after install" option will fail.
  • You can change the color of the installer "Finished" screen by changing finished_logo_background to any RGB value.

Note: finished_logo_background does not accept Alpha transparency values, and only accepts RGB.
