I've finally got around to playing with InnoSetup to create a Windows Installer for J.
The installer includes the Gtk binaries as well as the latest version of the base library and a selection of addons that I thought were likely to be useful to new users. So the J Gtk IDE should be ready-to-use out-of-the-box. The installer also creates an uninstaller that completely removes the install. The installer is currently only for a 64-bit installation on Windows but it should be relatively easy to create a similar one for 32-bit Windows. I'd be interested in any feedback from those willing to test the installer. If you already have a J installation just change the name of program files sub-folder (e.g. add "test" to the end) and the Start Menu folder when prompted to ensure you don't affect your existing installation. For now I have the installer hosted on my SkyDrive: https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=7568d8831e595c6d&resid=7568D8831E595C6D!205&parid=7568D8831E595C6D!146&authkey=!ACMm5-AdLG6h5L8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
