Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/397

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 Version 1803 (OS build 17134.950)

Client: Windows 10 Version 1803 (OS build 17134.950)

Barrier Version

2.3.1-snapshot

Latest commit 58d8f02

Steps to reproduce bug

Build on Windows with clean_build.bat
Build installer with build_installer.bat
Notice the following error message:
Building 64-bit Windows installer... The system cannot find the path specified. Build failed

The message does not say what when wrong or how to fix the problem.

Other info

The build_installer.bat tries to use the Inno Setup without first checking if it is installed. It could first check if Inno Setup is installed and if that is not the case say something like:
Building 64-bit Windows installer... Could not find Inno Setup. Please install Inno Setup 5 from http://files.jrsoftware.org/is/5/innosetup-5.5.9.exe Build failed

When did the problem start to occur? First time I tried to build the installer.
Is there a way to work around it? Yes, you can download and install Inno Setup if you know how to read batch files.
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? No
