Yes, that can be done by providing an MSI package .. .. though it is very hard to test. The product I'm using is AdvancedInstaller .. free demo version. Whilst it is quite good, it isn't the paid-for professional version. There are two choices: * create a new package from scratch every time and risk missing a directory * modify an old package, and risk missing a file The installer tracks all the files to be installed, and uses a GUI .. not command line .. to manage the list. Editing it by hand is very time consuming and unreliable. Creating a new package automatically grabs all the files in each specified directory so it is more reliable, provided the list of directories is right. Also MSI is not the preferred way for Win64 .. and probably won't work on my XP64 box because there is no installed C library on XP64. It has to be shipped with every package, and the Felix libs have to have embedded manifest things. Sigh. MS is not forthcoming on how to make that work from the command line. Also, I can only provide amd64 version .. probably work with the Intel clone too, but I don't have an ia64. So .. yes one should be made but I don't want to do it more than once .. which means it needs to be tested first. Installing Ocaml and Python on Win32 boxes isn't that hard .. getting the environment set up for C++ compiler is much harder even using the VSxxxx provided command prompts, especially on Win64 where half the runtime (like 64 bit winsock) is either missing or dang hard to find.. the manifesty thing again I suppose. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
