TigerSetup is a command-line tool that builds Windows installers. Describe your application in a TigerSetup.toml file, and tiger-setup build produces one self-contained Setup.exe with a wizard, a quiet mode for automation, upgrade, repair and uninstall, and no runtime prerequisites on the target machine.
After installing, open Start > TigerSetup > TigerSetup Shell: a command prompt with tiger-setup ready to use, which opens on a short getting-started summary. Start > TigerSetup > TigerSetup Help opens the getting-started guide (PDF).
First commands: tiger-setup build TigerSetup.toml, then tiger-setup inspect and tiger-setup verify on the Setup.exe it built.
TigerSetup installs for the current user by default and adds tiger-setup to that user's PATH; the PATH entry is optional. Installing for all users asks for administrator approval. Uninstalling removes everything the installation added, except a file you changed after installing it.
tiger-setup build contacts the WinGet community catalog only to resolve WinGet dependencies a package declares (tiger-setup build --offline makes no network request). The installers it builds download a prerequisite the package declares, from the WinGet catalog or from the address the package names, only when the computer lacks it. Reading product metadata from an MSBuild project needs the .NET SDK. TigerSetup sends no telemetry.
The installers it builds are transactional: an install or upgrade completes or rolls back, and each installation records what it owns, so upgrade, uninstall and verification work from what is really installed.
