Hi Jamal: 
Could you not store the name of the zip file--when writing the setup?

Indeed, that is a current limitation of jSX.  The Inno Setup code looks
for a .zip archive with the same name as the executable except for a
.zip rather than .exe extension.  During development, I recall not
having a way to know the name of the zip archive packed inside the
installer, so adopted that convention.  When I get a chance, I'll
revisit the code and see if another solution occurs to me.
