Inno Setup CLI Help is a set of functions that can be included in any Inno Setup installer to display command line usage information to the user. This help info can be displayed by passing /?, /h, or /help to the installer. If one of these arguments is passed, the installer display the help usage information, then exit.
This help information, for the most part, is a copy of the "Setup Command Line Parameters" of the Inno Setup help file. The reason I want to include this information in the installer itself is to make it as easy as possible for end-users to access it. Otherwise, it's difficult to track down this information, especially if the user does not even know that the installer uses Inno Setup.
In addition to the Inno Setup help text, this help information can also contains a list of all components, tasks, and custom parameters used by the given installer. Again, the purpose here is to educate the user and make it as easy as possible for him to automate and/or customize installation to suit his needs.
Inno Setup CLI Help was inspired by, and uses code from, the Windows GIMP installer by Jernej Simoncic.
