I've done the most recent work on the wininstaller.
freenet-modern.nsi is the current NSIS script which builds fine with the
latest version of NSIS. freenet-new.nsi doesn't actually exist anymore.
The current installer on the Freenet website should correctly identify
both Java 1.4 and 1.5.
Feel free to ask if you need to know anything more.

It appears that the only working script in the directory is the
freenet-new.nsi script. You will need to edit the build.bat file to
run that, or rename freenet-new.nsi to freenet.nsi

I have noticed that the installers on the freenet website is seriously
outdated. It is for Java 1.4, which is not only not the most current version
but has shown to have serious security bugs (see
http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3439391). The installer
that does not include a JVM forces me to download 1.4 despite the fact that
I have 1.5. The one that does come with a JVM crashes on my Win XP computer.
Will someone either upgrade the installers or inform me how I can upgrade
them?
Thanks.
I'm afraid the Windows installers have always suffered from neglect.
I don't think anyone is currently assigned to maintain them. You are
welcome to take a shot. They can be found in the contrib\wininstall
CVS. They are Nullsoft scripts.
This is what is in the readme:
How to build installers for "Freenet for Windows"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Any questions? mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Tools required
==============
1) NSIS, the free Nullsoft installer.
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/
You should use NSIS 2
2) UPX (for windows, even if you already have it for cygwin)
http://upx.sourceforge.net/
Make sure makensis.exe and upx.exe are in your %PATH%
Freenet software
================
The webinstaller does very little other than show a GUI while it
downloads the freenet
executables and .jar files and other bits and pieces from
http://freenetproject.org
So there are no additional files required to build the installer
(assuming you've already
checked out the whole wininstall project from CVS - if you have this
file, you probably did!)
Building the installer
=====================
Run build.bat from the Contrib/wininstall directory
It currently builds just freenet-webinstall.exe
Contact Matthew for CVS access.
