Beyond Compare® is the ideal tool for comparing files and folders on your Windows or Linux system. Visualize changes in your code and carefully reconcile them. Beyond Compare is available at Scooter Software. A license was purchased to support a large user community. I wanted a means to simplify the distribution of this application with the license file. I chose INNOSetup to compile the license and application into one single installer.

This is a repack of the Beyond Compare setup. It is cleaned it up a little with added support in using the [Setup] App* options, original unavailable in the official release.
