Inno Setup set Setup.exe create date and modified date the same

By default, when compiling the Setup.exe Inno Setup does not delete the existing file before compiling, meaning that the modified date is likely to be different from the create date unless remembering to manually delete the Setup.exe before compile. What would be the best way to set the date and time the same? I can think of two possible approaches to do this. One would be to use the TouchDate and TouchTime functions in the Code section at the end of the compile, the other would involve using the ISSP section to automatically delete the Setup.exe prior to compile. I'm not entirely sure if the ISSP option is possible, but which way would be simplest and preferable? Does anyone have any advice on which approach I should take, or is there another option I am overlooking?

It's most probably a consequence of so called file tunelling which has nothing to do with Inno Setup. One way out of this is making a batch script that will run compiler and touch the timestamp after compilation (preprocessor cannot do that because it runs before compilation).
