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:dave at rebuzz.org 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. -- I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. - Voltaire
