After some playing around I created the attached script. You simply point it to the Forrest home dir (need text to say so) and it creates explorer context menu items to seed, run and compile a project.
It still needs the license screen but that is not my point. What I'm trying to show is: - We wouldn't need to package all of Forrest in the installer. Enclosed script could be in Forrest root and Docs could instruct user to execute it once Forrest is unzipped. (I'd say if unzipping is beyond our user then this won't be the last problem they would have with Forrest) - With a small modification this installer could be generic and would not require a change with every release. - In addition we could create a second installer that lives and is executed by "Forrest seed" and creates Start-Menu items for runinng and compiling the seeded project. With that we could actually do away with the context menu items run and comile and just keep seed. wdyt? Best regards, Ferdinand Soethe
