Hi Ted,
Actually I run further on and reviewed the installer. Now it (should) support: (I only have XP and 2000) -Multiuser installation -complete windows "stylish", without anoying mesasge boxes therefore it uses the prepared dialogs -ask to remove the the personal preferences file
Unfortunately the questions to ask etc are different and so all the translations have to be redo. Currently only english and german is there. I commented the others out. :-(
However I packed with the new thing Inkscape-0.41+0.42pre1-1.win32.exe and put to the incoming directory already.
I put the installer thing on the patch tracker: 1233880 "new win32 installer"
I made also some screenshots: http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_1.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_2.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_3.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_4.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_5.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_6.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_7.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_8.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_9.png http://www.geocities.com/theadib/inkscape_install_10.png enjoy :-)
If you thing the new installer is unacceptable so short before the upcomming release I will repack the whole thing. No problem.
Ciao,
Adib. ---

the tarball misses some makefile.mingw that are needed for win32 compilation.
Okay. Makefile.mingw and Makefile.mingw.common?
I checked out the RELEASE_0_42_0_PRE1 and compiled it.
Great!
Then I stripped the exe and used a modified Installer srcipt for a installation set.
The modifications are: (diff attached, nothing magic) stripping and lzma compression addresses: 1155567 Too big exe for win32 distribution
the additional registry keys to be deleted addresses: 1166358 uninstallation incomplete in Win32
If you give me the ok I can upload that to the upload.sf.net. Awaiting your response.
Sorry to take so long, if you can upload it, that would be great!
