<div>Also I have question about directory bin. Actually all this
external libraries are copying into bin/ directory. I think this
directory is primary for executable files. Maybe it would be better
copy this files to the directory lib/ (etc. lib/others , lib/external
or else). What do you think?<br>
</div>

Yes, that would be cleaner. But, a new directory means one more
directory to add to path :(, or maybe we might use the lib/ directory
itself... (IMHO, all of them has a 'dirty' part, and so they are almost
identical solutions for me).<br>
What's your opinions about it? <br>

<div><br>
It is also solution :), all dll's into one directory. If you do this
for rcssserver3d project ( \rcssserver3d\lib\rcssserver3d --->
rcssserver3d\lib\ ) I think it would be good do this also for simspark
( \simspark\lib\simspark\ ---> \simspark\lib ) because of symmetry
:). Problem solved with the same number of paths.<br>

Ooops! Sorry, I wanted to say lib/rcssserver3d, not lib/ :P So, these
are my suggestions:<br>
1. Leaving the external .dll files in bin/ directory. While the
directory name is bin/, this is not a weird thing in Windows!<br>
2. Moving those .dll files into lib/, lib/external or ... and add that
directory to PATH<br>
3. Moving .dlls into lib/rcssserver3d<br>

A bit off-topic: as of now, you should be able to install simspark and
rcssserver3d in any location you like when using the installer in
Windows.� <br>

Because installer create (without user choice) uninstall shortcut into
Start menu, maybe it would be great to create shortcut from script
files (e.g. rcssserver3d.cmd) to this menu.<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
But the user has the choice! During installation there is a page which
asks about the start menu entry name. At the bottom, there is an option
like this: Do not create shortcuts. If you check this option, no Start
menu entry will be added.<br>
Anyway, I wanted to add those .cmd files to start menu, but I faced 2
problems: <br>
1. The default CMake command for this
purpose(CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES) adds .exe extension to the Start
menu shortcut! (I tried to add simspark.bat to start menu, and I found
that CPack has added it as simspark.bat.exe!!)<br>
2. Current .cmd files must be run from the bin/ directory, and do not
work outside it. But that's easy to solve. <br>
<br>
I've not investigated to see if it is possible to solve the first
problem using cmake commands. If not, it is possible to do that by
adding NSIS commands to CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS and
CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_UNINSTALL_COMMANDS. But it needs some time that I'm
not currently going to put on this issue. It would be nice if someone
do it. :)<br>
