Thanks. Setuptools is the library that handles installing third-party Python libraries, so it's used to manage the 'setup.py' scripts that come with most of them, to allow them to be built and installed system-wide. As for the Windows installer, I could help you. I've already written a > Ino Setup script, which I use to use to compile installers for French > people.

I am going to first check out cx_Freeze as it says it can make an MSI file for us, which would be great. I will let you all know how this goes and certainly ask for your help on Inno Setup if we need to go down that route. Can't wait to get it to the stage where the build process is simple and the docs are there for you all to be able to build it without any problems! > Honestly it'd be ways easier for people to have a standalone > installer, but yeah.

My position on this has changed slightly... I still would never be willing to distribute any registered data as part of AQ, of course that would be a breach of copyright. However I am now thinking that we should distribute the shareware data within AQ. The EULA for it says that it must be distributed 'as-is' which I took to mean as a separate component. However, what I am proposing that we do now is to include an extracted version of the shareware data, with readme, original licence and executables, and have that as part of AQ. I believe that is still compliant with the EULA, yet allows AQ to be installed more easily.
