Andrew , this is great! I really like that simplification of install on the Windows platform.
Adding such external download is not compatible with the Apache Policies as far as I know. That's why we removed links to latest builds from the download page :-( Would be great to have your patches used to make NuGet within the Apache Thrift code base. "generate a .MSI that installs the thrift compiler and runtime libraries" is a wish since 2010... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-874 Let's use apt-get like SUPER COW POWER on windows by using NuGet and chocolatey packaging. all the best! roger ;-r > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Ben Craig [mailto:bencr...@apache.org] > Gesendet: Dienstag, 24.
