Inno setup - no compression

Is it posible to generate a build with inno setup without compression ?

By default it makes setup.exe file that have all files packed inside exe

I want to have a folder with list of my files and setup.exe that will take this files and install on Program Files for user

(I just want to change several files for each user that downloads my program)

You can disable all compression in a setup using the Compression directive:

[Setup]
Compression = none

You can also turn this off for individual files, allowing them to be changed by your downloader with the nocompression and dontverifychecksum flags.

If you really want to keep the files seperate to the setup package, then you can use the external flag and use the {src} constant, but then the user will need to download each file individually, or you zip them up.
