I'd love to get the Windows installer capable of installing without issue on Vista, but I lack a Vista machine to test. I would welcome any assistance with this matter!
Also, regarding downloading the image instead of bundling it, It easy to modify the installer to download the image. NSIS has a Download plugin for this exact purpose. That would drop the initial file size down to a few MB, and we could add a disk space check beforehand. -------------------------- To work on the installer: Install NSIS from nsis.sourceforge.net. Get the installer source code: git clone git://dev.laptop.org/git/users/wadeb/wininstall/.git Or, download the source .tgz source file from this link: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/wadeb/wininstall/.git;a=snapshot The installer code is all in the 'olpc.nsi' file. This is a simple, text based install script. The NSIS download has full documentation for the language.
