Supporting multiple vesions (development/stable branches/releases, x32/x64,
multiple MSVC CRT dependencies) is quite a difficult task in a single
installer. With regards to the development version it would also be
reasonable to provide a build quite frequently to be in sync with the latest
changes in trunk. These are the main reasons I've originally set up
http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/ to provide most of the resonable combinations
as daily built packages.

I also wanted to include these files in an installer (or multiple
installers) but at the moment I don't see the real benefit of this over
extracting a single zip package, since these libraries don't require
significant preparation (like regkey entries) during the deployment. Any
further consideration in this topic would be helpful, as I may have missed
something that would also be important by a windows user.


Best regards,

Tamas
