Hi, Attached is a new installer for WinHugs. Its custom written, and has been used successfully on Pingus for years [http://pingus.seul.org/]. This version has some modifications. I have placed 2 screenshots at the bottom of http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/projects/winhugs.php The code is at http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/temp/installer.zip Advantages: 100% open source 100% customisable Registers Open and Edit via winhugs, along with a new document handler for windows. This removes the need for WinHugs/register Cat'able package creation (see how to create) 29Kb overhead vs just distributing a zip Can be opened by winzip, if people want Looks pretty Disadvantages: No cancel once you start installing, I don't think this is such a big deal, but it can be remedied with effort No uninstall, I will fix this before release, but again its not a massive problem since a winhugs install is pretty non-invasive Creating a package: Get a directory, as you want it installing Zip it up copy /b installer.exe + installer.zip winhugs.exe distribute winhugs.exe If you just unzip the linked file into /src/winhugs/installer it will all work perfectly. Once this is in, I'll put together a winhugs snapshot for people to beta test. I am now using WinHugs as my primary haskell development environment, and so are at least 3 others. Its solid and very useable. The code is C++. I would appreciate it if the formatting was not changed (i.e. tabs and spaces, bracketing placement) as then it will be easier to sync it with Pingus, since the code is already in their .svn. Thanks Neil
