Whereas the MSI gives me consistency of the install, as well as the uninstall. I also don't have to copy-unzip-copy or the like. MSI's great packaging tech for me. I'd be pleased to see an environment variable (eg, IRONPYTHON_HOME) set up as well and appended to PATH. I use this in some scripts.

Although other options of course are welcome, I personally favor the
zero-impact installation.
It gives me insight and precise control.
By the way I think RC2 is quite good. Before my holicays I tried RC1 and many
things fall over in my apps.
I anticipated to have a lot to repair after the holidays, but with RC2
everything seems to run alright again.

Our intention is to continue our tradition of zero-impact installers
and release the 1.0 as the zip file.
It seems though that it may be worth looking at the msi release (in
addition to the zip file) as a possibility...

Subject: [IronPython] Final release packaging
I haven't heard any discussion about how the final release will be
packaged. Will it be similar to the existing releases or a more polished msi?
I'd like to see an installer with that drops the binaries into a known location
and adds it to the system path, add itself to add/remove programs, etc- at
least create a shell shortcut so that I can do start->run->ipy. Maybe register
an association with.py files(asking first, of course.)
Thoughts?
