Flutter - Creating .exe Setup for Flutter Windows Desktop Apps | Flutter Tutorial | Inno Setup

#flutter #programming #mobileapp
In this Flutter Tutorial, we will be taking a look at creating ".exe" Executable Setup for Flutter Windows Desktop Apps. We will use a program called Inno Setup on a Windows Machine to create this installer from the Release folder that flutter build gives us.

Loved the video sir, It was very very helpful ! I am building a desktop app and I wasn't able to package it into an Installer.exe file, I can't thank you enough for this !🙏🏻🎉 Can you also make videos on the Mac OS Installer and Linux installer ?

I'm glad it helped you 😁 And macos installer video coming soon ✌😁

Need help with your package swipe_deck. Getting a weird box around image. Only can swap if i touch center of the image, otherwise swipe doesn't work. .

Make more desktop ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@rishabhgupta0.8]

cool

[@goldcoderscorp1668]

Is it possible to Add Custom Powershell Script during Installation?

[@FaAbYorker]

While installing it's showing Unknown Publisher. How can I sign the app as a Verified Publisher.

[@sinphyushinmintayagyi9719]

More animation tutorials please

[@brobot_dubstep1796]

Do you have a Tutorial for signing application. You can't install these applications on foreign computers without a valid certificate

[@leonardkabasa1902]

Can this work from an Android app to a desktop app or does it need to be in desktop app form

[@dykoyaa3937]

if i want it to try it on an other pc how to move it ?

[@msbanda2123]

👍

[@INTERFATEC]

After the build I can see only a blank screen. I´m using a firebase.

[@takirajani2693]

the code execution cannot proceed because flutter_windows.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem this error when i install exe file to other pc

[@bennguyen1313]

Any plans to make a desktop application that can access desktop peripherals, like a printer? (I've seen ffi and platform channels can be used to call functions from a dll, but can't get it to work!)

[@jojodipa6735]

did u find solution ?

[@shreyassk1515]

What about icons?

[@walidmechakou3554]

i followed you but my app does not run in desktop it in task manager why???

[@oliverbytes]

Package info always returns version 1.0.0 even if I set the correct version via Inno Setup. Help please?

[@FaAbYorker]

It must be modified in windows>>main.cpp file. It's the actual version of the app. Innosetup version is the installer version.

[@beratsulimani9823]

Can you help me out how to create a deb installation for linux.

[@khadidjatair]

Did you found how we can create a deb installation for linux ??

[@saifulhaq4408]

Flutter desktop requires other cpp libraries in dev mode to build n run..will it be required on consumer machines??

[@christopananjickal7458]

yes...flutter needs dll files such as vcruntime etc i hope.

[@RetroPortalStudio]

This is just to create setup for release build. Whatever files you need with release build, you can add them keeping the directory structure intact

[@hassanmetwally]

​@@RetroPortalStudio how, please??

[@mazudhafiz1778]

waiting to release library 😅

[@javierdiaz1887]

my exe don't run, windows says that my app has a virus, what should i do?

[@user-rn4qk2fb9k]

[@gohoapp]

What can you use for authentication for a login desktop app in flutter

[@capt_naman_gor]

I guess Firebase REST APIs can be used, I haven't tried those on desktop yet, but theoretically, they should work

[@RetroPortalStudio]

Yes, you have to create REST APIs. The packages won't work on desktop yet

[@capt_naman_gor]

@@RetroPortalStudio yess, I tried to create those for the FCM push notifications, was kinda successful, but didn't think to do for others like Cloud Firestore, auth, or others.

[@muchirajunior9751]

thanks, i had tried my own way only to find out my app is crushing because the data folder was not present

[@cricketclub1617]

how to solve this problem?

[@muchirajunior9751]

@@cricketclub1617 just copy the whole release folder

[@friedec3622]

Now the question is how to do it using github action

[@codersplayground4391]

How about generating an uninstaller too?

[@RetroPortalStudio]

It will be autogenerated and will be available in the installation folder itself

[@capt_naman_gor]

@@RetroPortalStudio that's really cool !

[@adityasinha3851]

Hey, i using win 11. I followed the instructions in the video but my app crashes on startup.

[@cricketclub1617]

do u find any solution?

[@kevinmathew1309]

😋

[@ramdhannugraha99]

can its execute in 32 bit windows ?

[@RetroPortalStudio]

Yes it can

[@ramdhannugraha99]

@@RetroPortalStudio hope it works well, because if i execute through exe file in release folder it only work only in 64 bit

[@hassanmetwally]

Works correctly, but if i use sqflite ffi, the app after setup can't run and doesn't display any alerts, could you please help me

[@izukanjisinkolongo1506]

Am having same issue, the app is failing with firebase auth after creating setup

[@izukanjisinkolongo1506]

Have u resolved your issue??

[@hassanmetwally]

Yep, I added sqflite3.dll file next to exe file, and it worked correctly

[@hassanmetwally]

But my issue was with sqflite, unlike yours

[@izukanjisinkolongo1506]

Are u using any authentication in your application?

[@sameershaik9040]

why is it so complex, why can't flutter team give simple utility or exe file directly

[@ramirorccastro]

Desktop is stil in Beta. When it goes to Alpha it should be better to use

[@RetroPortalStudio]

IMHO, This is as simple as it gets! It is like installing a utility and zipping it to an exe. hardly takes 5-10 mins. We have been using this to package java and other apps for years now

[@hizbamehwish8463]

I couldn’t install the exe . Windows says this contains virus ..what to do
