TigerSetup is a command-line tool that builds Windows installers. Describe your
application in a TigerSetup.toml file, and tiger-setup build produces one
self-contained Setup.exe with a wizard, a quiet mode for automation, upgrade,
repair and uninstall, and no runtime prerequisites on the target machine.
After installing, open Start > TigerSetup > TigerSetup Shell: a command prompt
with tiger-setup ready to use, which opens on a short getting-started summary.
Start > TigerSetup > TigerSetup Help opens the getting-started guide (PDF).
First commands: tiger-setup build TigerSetup.toml, then tiger-setup inspect and
tiger-setup verify on the Setup.exe it built.
TigerSetup installs for the current user by default and adds tiger-setup to
that user's PATH; the PATH entry is optional. Installing for all users asks for
administrator approval. Uninstalling removes everything the installation added,
except a file you changed after installing it.
