See http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php "A powerful script based freeware installation builder with Delphi source available. By Jordan Russell."

It is the tool used to build the Firebird Windows kits.

The Inno (not InstallShield) scripts are distributed in the source package, which you can download from the Downloads page of the version you are interested in. The install scripts and batch files are in
$basedir$:\builds\install\arch-specific\win32. The master script is FirebirdInstall_20.iss.

Don't overlook the text files in the \doc\ folder of your Windows installation, either. There are instructions there for running a command-line install with specific parameters, using the distributed installation kits.
