There was a person who offered to re-package the XMIT software in a
more current installer a few years back, but IIRC when he contacted
the author he could not get permission to do so.
I understand courtesy reasons, but is it matter of IP (Intellectual
Property) rights the way the product is distributed? Especially the
installer itself is not created by the author of the product.
One could try to get permission to use specific media like pendrive to
distribute the software - but why?
Or maybe (actually it's not) it would help to create small .BAT script
calling the installer with specific parameters and environment changes -
is it matter of asking for permission?
BTW: My co-worker did small text description how to install the product
on Win7. I'm not sure whether he attached alternative .BAT installer,
what I'm sure he's not arrested (yet).
