>From Inno Setup Help:

Creating Installations
Installations are created by means of scripts, which are ASCII or Unicode (UTF-8 encoded 
with a BOM) text files with a format somewhat similar to .INI files. (No, it's not as 
complicated as you might be thinking!).
Scripts have an ".iss" (meaning Inno Setup Script) extension. The script controls every 
aspect of the installation. It specifies which files are to be installed and where, what 
shortcuts are to be created and what they are to be named, and so on.
Script files are usually edited from inside the "Inno Setup Compiler" Compiler IDE program. 
After you have finishing writing the script, the next and final step is select "Compile" in the 
Compiler IDE. What this does is create a complete, ready-to-run Setup program based on 
your script. By default, this is created in a directory named "Output" under the directory 
containing the script.
To give you an idea of how this all works, start the Compiler IDE, click File | Open, and 
select one of the script files in the Examples subdirectory located under the Inno Setup 
directory. (It may be helpful to use the sample scripts as a template for your own scripts.)
