This is an awesome idea. Gtk# trunk, and therefore 2.12.6 already has an msm/wix build set up which can be invoked with: make win32-installer There is also a win32-installers module which builds msms for gtk+ and glade and the dependencies using wix. It also produces a runtime and sdk .msi for gtk-sharp + gtk + deps via automake. You just have to copy the msms produced by the gtk-sharp build into the root directory and do a make. This installer currently specifies a dependency for .Net 1.1 or greater, but maybe that wix dependency could be revised to test for a mono msi as well. The assembly installation is already done using gacutil, so maybe it will 'just work' with a mono provided gacutil. Brad and Cody are the gurus on this stuff. I've tinkered around enough with it to know how to do minor version updates and so on. I'd be happy to work with you guys to see if we can move this idea forward. I have a 2.12.6 installer sitting on my win32 machine right now which I was going to see about uploading to mono-project.com, but maybe we can use this release as an opportunity to get you guys started by rebuilding it on your build machine(s). > * Change the Mono windows installer over to Wix so that it is an MSI There are a bunch of wix files in svn now to borrow from. -- Mike Kestner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
