the main difficulty in creating a standalone installer for windows was how to deal with the external dependencies, i.e. in our case installations of kdebase and R. Most of RKWard needs to be installed into the KDE-directory, and some more files need to be installed into a subfolder of the R installation. I have not looked at CPack in too much depth, but I'm not sure it is even possible to make this work. Currently we use NSIS for the standalone installer. That does not really make it easy to install to some specific existing locations, but at least it can be coerced to support this (http://rkward.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rkward/trunk/rkward/windows_nsis/installer.nsi?view=markup, if you are interested). If something similar is possible with CPack, I'd very much interested in having an example to look at. Creating a complete installation bundle (i.e. including KDE and R) is trivial in comparison. Just install locally, and zip it all up (most difficult part is complying with the GPL, which means you need to offer the sources, too, in some form or another). Regards Thomas
