I like being able to display a license agreement. The QtIF installer makes our OS X installer very similar to the Windows installer created using Inno Setup. I also like the idea of using QtIF for Linux, OS X, and Windows. I may get rid of Inno Setup. On second thought, the Mac App Store may not make sense for me. Especially considering that management plans to start charging for a pro commercial version after the free lite version is complete. I am sure management would not like the App Store 30% cut of a $1000 or $2000 software sale. I still need to figure out the signing thing though, regardless. That should be fun but at least there are many articles on doing this.
