The .exe was a NSIS-generated installer tool. There were several bugs in it caused by problems with NSIS, but worst is that it could wipe out long PATH environment variables. The .msi is more like a .deb or .rpm but that is managed by the Windows Installer Service. > Was the old installer using NSIS? Yes. > What is the .msi using? Does this mean CPack can build .msi now? CPack now has a WiX generator, and WiX produces a .msi. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
