Sorry, I thought you had figured out the installer issue. We should certainly be able to build it from the same files as we distribute normally. Where does it stand now? I can tweak it if you've run out of energy for it.
The installer also has a scripted/automated install process, which should address unpacking/running to get something to test. Also, if we can distribute our own Axis, I'm sure we can distribute our own IzPack. But really, I don't think there's a compelling need to, since no one needs IzPack to install or run the product. (Also, you say you couldn't get a copy for yourself, but that's only because the download was troublesome for you, right? If I had a nickel for every time ibiblio crapped out... :) Aaron On 10/2/05, David Jencks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Oct 2, 2005, at 8:00 AM, Aaron Mulder wrote: > > > Cool.
