Re: [Inkscape-devel] MSI Packages

Hi tOnY, there is already a windows installer for Inkscape at least. I hope you can use that. It is NSIS-based, which is an open source installer. MSI is not an open source installer. Thus, you can see why we use NSIS, which many consider more effective...

You can find this installer (.nsi) on our http://sf.net/projects/inkscape/ files page.

There's an Open Source program to create MSI installers too: http://wix.sourceforge.net/

According to this slashdot story [1], Microsoft were the ones who released the source code.

It appears to only run on Windows, but I haven't spent any real time with it, I just came across it the other day.
