It is by default and it is good so, because you want to build error free before installing/ proceeding to compile the installer. I guess you build the Release target (and not the Debug target). You can select to build the INSTALL project after the build completes successfully and then you'll be in the state to run the installer from its intended location. I start to see how much effort you did put into this and I have a lot of respect for people like you who try hard to make things work. >> Then test the installer.

I've been waiting for a newbie to come forward and pick up the installer where I left it and take it further for a few steps. passage of the generations. there is no point in open source, if it is the usual suspects that do the work and everybody else just waits for it to be done. > So I shared my > half-baked installer with the world, figuring that if I preferred a > semi-installed alpha of 0.8 over 0.7, others might as well. that's very good. it generated positive action/attention. > If you feel this action of mine is causing too much confusion let me > know and I'll take the installer down. not at all. your action is moving the project forward and I am thankful for that. > I'm taking it down anyway once > i reach the count of 1000 downloads because of the traffic limit.
