Yeah, that was about where I got stuck. Somehow the way the temporary install directory is created for the Windows build shoves everything in a single directory (you don't get this if you do a normal Linux install -- that has separate bin, docs, icons, etc subdirectories). This gets even worse with the single-manual documentation because all the files for the manual are then in that same directory too :-( I don't think I can really get this to work with the single-manual documentation setup as qemu.nsi stands in master. So my plan is to just commit the single-manual changes (probably next week some time) and then we I'm happy to help with the Windows installer changes necessary for the manual part once it's basically working again. thanks -- PMM
