If there's no such a plug-in, I suppose it is not possible. Inno Setup is a setup 'compiller', so you have to use third-party editors such Notepad or others to create such files.

Hello,

Actually it is possible if you use the [code] section and write your own code.

Delphi
[Code]
function CreateBatch(): boolean;
var
  fileName : string;
  lines : TArrayOfString;
begin
  Result := true;
  fileName := ExpandConstant('{pf}\{#MyAppName}\batch.bat');
  SetArrayLength(lines, 3);
  lines[0] := 'echo hello';
  lines[1] := 'pause';
  lines[2] := 'exit';
  Result := SaveStringsToFile(filename,lines,true);
  exit;
end;

procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
begin
  if  CurStep=ssPostInstall then
    begin
         CreateBatch();
    end
end;


Valery.

solved ... i have called CreateBatch() without any condition.

procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
begin
CreateBatch();
end;

CurStep let's you select at which point you want to perform the operation. CurStep=ssInstall means just before the installation starts,CurStep=ssPostInstall means just after the installation finishes CurStep=ssDone means just before Setup terminates. Anyway happy that you made it work. :)

use the [run] section for this purpose.

[Run]
Filename: "{app}\batch.bat";

see here: http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=runsection
[code]
procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
var
fileName : string;
begin
// Called at the end of setup
if CurStep = ssPostInstall then
begin
// create the directory and file name
fileName := ExpandConstant('{pf}\{#MyAppPublisher}\{#MyAppName}\c3deditor');
// log the operation
Log('Creating ' + fileName + '.bat');
// write a one line batch file to run the app
SaveStringToFile(fileName + '.bat',#34 + fileName + '.exe" -b %1' + #13#10, False);
end;
end;
