Changing the installer config

• Open up Installer-Repack/MainForm.cs and expand the Setup Config region,
• You'll see a bunch of options you can change there along with the comments for more information for each config
• Replace Installer-Repack/Resources/InstallationArchive.zip with your own installation archive

Changing the uninstaller config

Open up Uninstaller/MainForm.cs and just copy and paste the config you have on Installer-Repack/MainForm.cs

Finishing touches

• Rebuild Uninstaller
• Replace Installer-Repack/Resources/Uninstaller.exe with the built Uninstaller.exe
• Replace Installer-Repack/Resources/Icon.ico with your own installer icon
• Each replacement must have the same file name unless if you know how to tinker around with resource files

Final step

• Rebuild Installer-Repack (If you only build it the resources might not refresh)
