If you decide to go one step further, and generate a Windows self-installer, I can heartily recommend the Nullsoft installer: http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis . It's a free, open-source Windows installer that * stores everything using a .zip-derived format (but not quite compatible with .zip) * is scriptable! For Slingshot's Virtual Resorts stuff, I have a makefile and a helper Perl program which takes a file list of resources, and generates a self-installing .exe. I'm fairly happy with it -- it beats the hell out of clicking through InstallShield's GUI every time I need to make a release. I can post the scripts somewhere if there's interest. -- Thatcher Ulrich <tu...@tu...> http://tulrich.com |
