That would make msvc build installs a non-starter. Our windows users have come to expect Python support. Yanking the msys2 stuff out of the installer probably would not be terribly difficult. I might be easier just to create a separate installer for msvc builds rather than change the exiting package scripts.

This is what I was primarily what I was referring to. We would have to run the Python2/3 installer and the wxPython/wxPhoenix depending on the build. Then we would have to install the Pcbnew scripting stuff in the correct Python install path. > > I have WiX based installers in the pipeline, but you might have noticed > that I haven't really gotten around to finishing anything substantial in > the last months, so that is a bit off still. > > Simon _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
