Add InnoSetup make Target

See original GitHub issue
  • I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
  • I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project follows, as appropriate.
  • I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Please describe your issue: I’d like to see some alternative make targets on Windows, Squirrel’s windows installer does not offer the user feedback or customizable install I am looking to offer so at the moment I am using forge to package and InnoSetup to create installer see this repo for the setup. The end product installer is a more user-friendly and familiar experience than Squirrel currently offers. It’s also got some easy to integrate toolchain stuff like a CLI and some node wrappers

If this is something that you think would benefit electron-forge, I’d be happy to work on it but would be good to get some pointers on where in the codebase to start.

If you don’t think InnoSetup is suitable for electron-forge please feel free to close this issue.

@hammus Windows only makers are perfectly ok 👍 When integrating with forge we will simply set the isSupportedOnCurrentPlatform function correctly 👍

AppX makers are already windows only

@erickzhao I can tackle this one if it’s still relevant.
