Inno Setup Batch compile more than one installer in parallel

Question

I have 13 .iss scripts for Inno Setup and I want to compile them in parallel. At the moment I'm using a .bat file for a non-parallel compiling. It takes over two hours, so I want to parallel this.

It's not working with a start iscc ...

Can anyone help me?

There's no reason, why it should not work with start . It actually does work.

Maybe you use a wrong syntax.

The correct syntax is:

start "Compiling Setup 1" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5\ISCC.exe" C:\Setup1\Example.iss
start "Compiling Setup 2" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5\ISCC.exe" C:\Setup2\Example.iss

Note that the first argument to start is a window title.
