We should include the Asio4All installer as an option in the install process, many other applications are doing that now, i'd propose to install by default. It provides a much much better user experience than pd on WME drivers
Sounds very cool. The ASIO4ALL license prevents it from being embedded in the Windows package itself, (everything must be GPLv2 compatible currently). But I think it would be feasible to make the installer download the package separately, in which case there would be no problem with licenses.

so the InnoSetup files themselves are GPL'd ? How many people actually authored them? If its just you, would you consider adding a license exception to allow ASIO4ALL?
I know nothing about Inno unfortunately, if this were in NSIS i could hack away at it as (sadly) i've become quite an NSIS expert.

It looks like InnoSetup might not have a download-and-install feature. But it would be easy enough to launch the ASIO4ALL page at the end of the installer. But I don't think it can be included, it would be the only exception.
As for NSIS vs. InnoSetup, if you are willing to take over active maintainership of the Windows installer, then you can use whatever you want :D (provided it's free, which NSIS is, right?)

if you give me a quick rundown of any fancy stuff you are doing current with the InnoSetup... if its nothing too cumbersome i could probably crank out a equivelent NSIS in a few hours... might as well put all this NSIS exp. from work to good use...

I am not a windows user, so I am very unlikely to fix this, therefore I am unassigning this from me.
It does sound like a good idea though.
Ok, I added an auto-open link at the end of the installer for ASIO4ALL, so I think that it should be pretty easy for people to install from there.
