Lynn,
 
I think you should continue with the installer. InnoSetup is just a possible option.
 
As far as the shared repository goes I believe that is probably going to be the responsibility of advanced users.
 
Although it might not be a bad idea to write an application that is designed to help configure, and maintain shared repositories.

Hi David,
 
Thanks for the feedback ... I don't see InnoSetup as an option ... at least that approach wouldn't be anything I could help with. I've never used it, and I have a fair amount of experience with NSIS ... and the overhead is only about 34kb (although that isn't much of an issue with multi-megabyte installs since the resources tend to be several megs)
 
I'm not all that eager to be responsible for putting the installer together ... there is a lot that can go wrong and it really needs input from people who are aware of the numerous applications that might want to co-exist together sharing the same resources. I'd gladly hand off the work so far on the nsis installer proto to anyone who wants to carry on and wrap it up.

Lynn,
 
This might be a little late but I wanted to mention it to Troy (who said that he has no objections) before I mentioned it to you. Although it seems that you have almost completed the installer.
 
If there are any more problems I would suggest that you switch to InnoSetup. Or ISTool which provides a good ide for InnoSetup.
 
I believe that the InnoSetup Wizard generally provides all that is needed for most projects but for projects which maybe a little more complicated, and may need to be changed from time to time ISTool would probably be better.
 
About the only advantage that I can see which NSIS has over InnoSetup is that installers are a little smaller (~200k). Getting the job done quickly might be more important.
 
And there is also a Form Designer available for InnoSetup.
