hi all,
talking about alternatives, there is a program called DemoSheild from InstallShield which is free and can be used to make msi install scripts.
There is another program called 'Setup Factory 5.0' which has some very advanced features like regisrty editing, inf. file editing, setting run-time env. variables and stuff,,
just saying, i have got the setup factory program, if u would like me to make an example copy of it.
Thanx in advance,
Hiten Pandya

Ok, but how do you build the MSI ?
I know InstallShield can generate that, but that costs (lots of) cash ...
There are a few advanced features missing in NSI, but more or less gets the job
done. It is also very simple to use.
I had a tweaked version of the script, but unfortunately my main HD died on me
a few moments ago. The tweaks weren't too complex so I should be able to put
them back in quickly.
What would I do without IMAP (thanks Pier ;-)) and CVS ? (since of course I
never back up anything) :-)
