Hi there, With the guidance of Phil Driscoll, I have put together a new installer for PHP on Windows. It replicates much of the same functionality of his installer, but also boasts the following features:
- Selective installation of all PHP components ( CGI and CLI exes, server modules, standard and PECL extensions ). - Configures the php.ini for the installation, including enabling the extensions the user selected to install. - Built as an MSI using Wix (http://wix.sourceforge.net) which is scriptable and open source so we can include the code to build the installer in cvs and automate building it. Also MSI Installers are very useful for Sys Admins since they integrate into Group Policies to allow unattended installation, and are better supported on Windows in general. Thanks to Edin Kadribasic, the public test version ( which installs a recent snapshot of PHP 5.2 ) is located at http://downloads.php.net/edink/php-5.2.0-win32-installer.msi. I am looking for feedback on the installer, namely in the following areas: - Default install options; what should the default install consist of? - Lite Installer. The current install file weighs in at 18mb. Would we want a lite installer with fewer components and if so what would those be? -- Later, John Mertic "Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog: you [EMAIL PROTECTED] understand it better, but the frog dies in the process." -Mark Twain -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
