Just looking for suggestions for a good installer to take py2exe output and turn it into a Windows installer. Suggestions? Thanks, Michael |

Inno Setup fits the bill perfectly for me. You can easily automate it from Python, or even use GUI2Exe to create a stub Inno project for you :-) Andrea.

I'm using NSIS, it's a great tool with several cool options. Before that I used Inno Setup but I felt like it was missing som features (like services installing) so I switched El 24/08/2010 08:06 a.m., Michael Hipp escribió: > Just looking for suggestions for a good installer to take py2exe output > and turn it into a Windows installer.

Used Inno Setup for years on simple stuff, then switched to NSIS for more full-featured installers... They're equally easy to use, I'd just use NSIS from the start if I were doing it all over. Eric |

What sort of issues does this cause? I had originally rejected Inno and NSIS because they don't support the (now standard) msi way of installing. But I'm not looking forward to learning Wix :-) Thanks, Michael |

Michael, > Bad: > > - it's not .msi; so some software deployment systems behave stubborn. > > What sort of issues does this cause? > > Usually discussions with the users of those software distribution systems :), as in "we only can distribute software which is provided as an .msi" Since the created package of InnoSetup does support silent installation, the usual solution is to use some MSI-Wrapper-Generators. >But I'm not looking forward to learning Wix :-) understandable. A project in the folder of "if I ever will have time and energie to do it" is to use the msi-tools from Martin v. Löwis and extend the py2exe-setup system. Those tools are within the python-repository: http://code.python.org/hg/trunk/file/d2c464d2ee82/Tools/msi maybe you want to take a look ... best wishes, Harald -- GHUM Harald Massa persuadere et programmare Harald Armin Massa Spielberger Straße 49 70435 Stuttgart 0173/9409607 no fx, no carrier pigeon - Using PostgreSQL is mostly about sleeping well at night. |

Michael, since around 5 years I am successfully using InnoSetup. You can find an example within sitepackages\py2exe\extending\setup.py Good: - example integrated within py2exe basic package - small installer packages (InnoSetup supports quite good compression) - InnoSetup = free as in beer Bad: - it's not .msi; so some software deployment systems behave stubborn.
