I'd like to have a way to create setup files via the Tools. But I cant't 
find a macro that will return the EXE name without an extension!!! I 
need to pass the EXE name with a .ISS extension to the Inno Setup 
Complier. If I use &PRJNAME I get the "project.xpj" file.

There also does not seem to be a way to change the name of the 
project.xpj file

I assume that you mean Menu Tools -> Configure Tools...

I made a notice that we have to verify whether the macros 
are complete. May be they should be customizable.

What about following work around.
Make an Xbase App that gets the project name and invokes the
Setup compiler as required. This App could be invoked by a 
Tools menu item.

Nope. The name is fix for the entire lifetime of the project.
But you can easily clone the project file:

o Goto Project Manager (Alt+1).
o Right Mouse Button on the project.xpj node.
o Click Save Project As.
o Et voila.

That what I figured I'd do. Write a program. But you really need a few 
more macros. At least EXENAME EXENAMENOEXT. It would be nice to be able 
to create macros but it seems to me it would require some info of the 
data available.

BTW I really like the debugger so far. It will take a little getting 
used to.
