Yes, that's what I want to implement! An installer that can be used also from "newbes" without any knowledge of CP and their manual- download and install! If you can link me the CP websites I can add all them to the on-the- fly download process (you any release of Hugin can be provided "clean" The only one "issue" is that a binary version of Hugin must be provided in advance.. > Adding a "License" for each CP-generator during install is not necessary. > > What I would advise to do is to put a generic disclaimer - the same one for > all CP-generators - with a statement like: > > "you have elected to download and install one or many additional software > packages for control point generation.
