How about Wasabi? The nullsoft installer.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Serge van den Boom" <sv...@st...> To: "Ur-Quan Masters developers" <sc2...@li...> Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 2:57 PM Subject: [Sc2-devel] Installer suggestions and experiences. > Hi, > > Though the next release will likely take some while, we're looking for a > Windows installer program suitable for our needs.
