Currently the tool is general enough to be used with Hugs or any other
project. You just need to have a prepared (template) MSI database and
the tool will add your files to it. What I tend to add is a special
mode where the tool will read your .cabal file and will automatically
detect which files have to be packaged.

Hi Karsmir,
I wrote simple tool that I am using to build MSI installer for Visual Haskell. It will not be so hard to extend it to support Cabal. After that it will be easy to prepare an installer for GHC with optional libraries. Don't expect it to be ready for 6.6 release!
Would it be possible to have it work for WinHugs as well? It would be nice if GHC/Hugs had some nice integration in this point. The other thing to think of is that Hugs and GHC both steal the .hs extension on Windows - and GHC's icon for .hs files is uglier than the Hugs one.
Thanks
Neil
