My two cents: An installer worries me on many levels. I wouldn't release it with 1.3.0. I would put it out there separately as something needing testing and feedback on non-production machines.
The only reason I say this is that the installer introduces complexity and abstraction from the process and will make helping people new to ASSP all that more difficult. As far as creating an installer, I would suggest looking at Innosetup also. Its free and has great scripting capabilities (see third party tools [istool]) http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php Best, Chris Kevin wrote: > Fritz Borgstedt wrote: > >> TreeWalk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schreibt: >> >>> Uhm .. wait a minute.. why carrying all the perl modules with ASSP >>> when the modules may be updated (e.g. bugfixes etc..) ?
