I totally agree with using Package Maker for mac installer. That's
what I'd expect.
I posted sample windows installers and tweeted about them. Here's the

Just to be clear.... I didn't purchase Install4j. I just asked for
a free
open source license. So it's no sweat off my back if you choose

happy to
help.
The installers I built with Install4j are just quick stab, so you
could get
a feel for what Install4J installers are like. They would require
more work
before releasing.
Ok, thanks Micah...I was worried you'd gone ahead and purchased it. At
the moment it looks like we should just post links to prototypes of
all the various installers that have been proposed and let people try
them out. Whatever ends up feeling best, we'll go with, and probably
spin 1.3.1 installers once the decision is made.
I'm curious what BitRock feels like. Daniel, could you whip up some
BitRock
installers for each platform? They don't have to be complete...
just enough
to get a feel for it. Then I'd suggest we try them both out and
see which
option offers the best experience. Maybe a combination of both
installers
for different platforms is the best route.
I'm leaning this way myself, and I agree that seeing each installer in
the flesh would be the quickest way to make a decision. We can even
tweet about them and let people try them out (at their own risk,
obviously).
