The point is that typical Windows users can download and click a simple tool
that behaves like tools they are aquainted to and makes sure that my
application gets installed correctly. This doesn't imply InnoSetup with a
single, packaged binary but it works.
So lets rephrase the question...
I have a windows box with strawberry perl and wxwidgets and everything. I
can type "wperl myscript.pl" and it runs. Fine.
The end user needs an icon on the desktop that runs the program.
How would *you* do it? I do like your portable perl applications approach
but unless I missed something essential it still seems requires several
manual steps, like assembling the necessary sources (you said par could
be used for that) and building the installer.
Also, is there any protection against users modifying files after unpacking?
Interested,
Johan
