Author The Inno script does not need all the files in the Project Explorer?

Since my Inno Setup script is generated from the dBase Project Explorer, the
script, under [Files], includes forms, menus, reports and datamodules. I did
not have to include these files when I used Installshield Express. Can I not
delete them from the Inno script and thus shorten the script file and save
time assigning them to Components. Are these files not already in the
executable?

The only reason I can think of for leaving them in the Inno script is if
they need to be assigned to Components.

If this is so they are not needed in the Inno script, then it would be
useful if the program that generated the Inno script from the Project
Explorer contained code to eliminate files in the Project Explorer that are
not required in the Inno script.

You do not need to include the files in the script if they are included in
the .exe file generated by the Project Explorer. The next version of the
Project Explorer will have better automatic management for which files to
include in the script.
