Hi, I created .msi installers too, but have been unable to test them (they crash on wine, my native windows PC is on loan) and don't like putting untested things on GNOME.org. The MSI installers can be found here PyGObject 2.26 (for glib-2.26.0) http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.6.msi http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.7.msi Pycairo 1.8.10 http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.6.msi http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.7.exe PyGTK 2.22 (for gtk+-2.22.0) http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygtk-2.22.0.win32-py2.6.msi http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/win32/pygtk-2.22.0.win32-py2.7.msi If they also get good testing and feedback then I could put them on GNOME [1] John [1] Although AIUI msi installers don't do postinstall scripts, which until recently contributed by Dieter, was a necessary step in the exe installers. > > In most cases, the bdist_msi installer is a better choice than the > bdist_wininst installer, because it provides better support for Win64 > platforms, allows administrators to perform non-interactive installations, > and allows installation through group policies. > > That would also go towards the possibility to create a batch > installation.
