Обсуждение: Microsoft installer
Hi Dave, right before the first pgadmin3 release, we were discussing about how to distribute the win32 version. You stated it should be a MSI package, and claimed to do that. Apparently, you don't find the time, and I don't have the tools to do it. I've been creating a NSIS project (nsis.sourceforge.net), using the current NSIS 2.0B4. IMHO instead of having an ugly zip file, we should use NSIS as long there's no better solution available. Checked in for cvs head, but works with 1.0.2 trunk too. Regards, Andreas

What did you think I've been distributing? The project file is in pkg/win32. Regards Dave.

Have you looked in one? I realise that msi files are designed for web download anyway, but their compression is not the greatest around and I've never heard of anyone pointing msiexec at a web site except inside a corporate network.

IMHO the installer should be self-extracting/running or the plain MSI file. Regards, Andreas
