I looked around not long ago at what other projects do for installers. Most of the Java projects just have zips and tars. Some of the C projects produce packages (rpm, Solaris pkg). Tomcat, Maven and Lenya use NSIS, the Nullsoft Installer: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page It has a non-standard but unrestrictive license. And looking again at httpd, they have an InstallShield installer now, which is news to me. I'm curious if InstallShield donated free licenses to the httpd community, or if an httpd developer happens to have a commercial license and produces the installers for the community. andrew
