Next Steps: Creating the Installer

After the Python tool has created your .iss file:

1. Open the Inno Setup Compiler.
2. Go to File -> Open... and select the .iss file you just saved.
3. You will see all the generated code in the Inno Setup editor.
4. Click Build -> Compile (or press F9).
5. Inno Setup will compile the script and create your final setup.exe in the output directory you specified.

Done! You now have a professional, multi-language installer for your application.
