I have just installed it and run the benchmark test on Windows XP (without TLS), and it works fine. However, with the effort it takes to install the rest of what is needed for VIFF, I do not think it really makes it much easier with an installer just for VIFF because you already have to know where the files are supposed to go anyway (at least ConfigObj has to be placed manually as far as I could tell). If you really wanted to make it friendly, the installer would simply install everything needed. On the other hand, it is still quicker and more convenient to use the installer, so I would suggest releasing this VIFF for Windows in this format in the future along with a ZIP-file as well. -- Mikkel Krøigård _______________________________________________ viff-devel mailing list (http://viff.dk/) viff-devel@viff.dk http://lists.viff.dk/listinfo.cgi/viff-devel-viff.dk
