      @orange @Christoph-Hart When I use the installer I made with Inno, the AAX plugins install as folders instead of plugins and aren't recognized in ProTools. Any experience with this?

        For some reason the AAX plugins end up in a wrong folder structure so I have this beautiful gem in my build script:

        xcopy "build\AAX\%plugin_name% x86.aaxplugin\Contents\Win32\%plugin_name% x86.aaxplugin" "build\AAX\%plugin_name% x64.aaxplugin\Contents\Win32\"
        ren "build\AAX\%plugin_name% x64.aaxplugin\Contents\Win32\%plugin_name% x86.aaxplugin" "%plugin_name%.aaxplugin"
        ren "build\AAX\%plugin_name% x64.aaxplugin\Contents\x64\%plugin_name% x64.aaxplugin" "%plugin_name%.aaxplugin"
        ren "build\AAX\%plugin_name% x64.aaxplugin" "%plugin_name%.aaxplugin"
        rmdir /Q /S "build\AAX\%plugin_name% x86.aaxplugin"

            @dustbro That looks like batch scripting to me

              I made this template for Inno Setup. It works for VST2 / VST3 / AAX...

              Also it is compatible with 32 & 64 bit installations with checkbox. It also checks 32/64 bit versions, if the system is x86, it won't allow to install 64 bit plugins.

              Just modify the necessary sections with line by line for you.

              Cheers ;)

                @orange the script is almost exactly like what I have.
                It turns out to be a PACE signing issue. Although the plugin shows as being a folder instead of the AAX plugin icon, it's working. Good enough for me! 😂

                  @dustbro Good to see it is working.

                  Actually I couldn't managed to add the AAX icon to the aax plugin folders, but aax plugins work without any issues ;)

                  By the way if anyone know how to add aax icons to the installation files or how to create folders with aax icons, it would be good to share from here.

                    @orange I just noticed this at the end of compiling AAX:

                    aax folder icon.png

                    Maybe we can set the folder Icon with the installer as well?

                          @dustbro In Inno only. Can you send the magic code for the icon?

                            @orange I used the script wizard to get started. It's one of the setup options.

                                    Install Forge Also Has A Built-In Copy Protection System.

                                    "Generate" And It Will Do The Job For You :)
                                    Then Simply Store The Serial Numbers By Pressing The Save Button

                                      @Natanr said in Installers:

                                      Install Forge Also Has A Built-In Copy Protection System.

                                      Looks great. How many maximum serials can be generated in one installer?

                                        @Natanr How do you specify different install directories for different files? It looks like you can add as many files and folders as you want, but they can only go to one destination.

                                            I Believe That The Installing Destination Is Limited To Only One :/
                                            But The Trick Is To Create Two/2 Installers, One For 32 Bit And The Other One For 64 Bit.
                                            I Seen So Many Companies Use This Method

                                            BTW, I'll Send Them A Quote And Ask Them How To Make Multiple Paths
