[afw-general] Re: [afw-announce] ASK for Windows version 0.3.1a released

[Chris W. <chr...@co...>]

And I'm including the .nsi file to make the installer for 0.3.1a.

I've added a "Run ASK after setup" checkbox to the finish page. The finish
page no longer pops up automatically, you now have time to click "Show
Details" and review what it did. Updated the script for the current CVS
version of NSIS 2.0b4. It cleanly uninstalls the files it installs, at least
from what I can tell. And, of course, it uses the new ask subdirectory for
the ask stuff (as per 0.3.1a changes).

It works for me.

Please note: for upgraders, you should be able to run the uninstall process
(assuming you used the previous installers), then run this installer.
Between running them, check your afw folder - it should have only the 2 .rc
files and the home directory left.
