Daniel,
Not Good... OK maybe FreeInstaller is out for now. I still think that an
OSS install program is necessary for Open Source though. FreeInstaller may
not be the right implementation, right now, but it is a GOOD idea.
Daniel, would you be willing to test installs on Win95 for me, if I hacked
FreeInstaller. I suspect I know where at least a couple of problems are
coming from. I the read FreeInstaller docs and it mentioned using the JVM
exec method. I suspect that this is where most of the problems are coming
from.
