Compiling inno .iss file with the command line

Question

I am trying to turn an Inno .iss file to the installer .exe over the command line.

I have found this page on the Inno website which shows you how to do this: http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setupcmdline

When I tried these commands, I got the command not found error:

'compil32' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I got the same error when trying iscc instead of compil32. I also tried compil64, as my computer is 64 bit, with the same result.

Thanks in advance.

This is basic operating system functionality. You need to either put the directories where the Inno Setup binaries are located into your system PATH, or use a fully qualified pathname to the executables when running them.
