Sure, if that was what it takes, it's not feasible. My thought was to set up python,
leo, and Qt in a single directory - the directory would then be installed by the
"leo" installer, so that you end up with leo and its private copies of
python/qt in c:\program files\leo\leo or somesuch. Dumb, inelegant, and the lowest
possible barrier to the Leo experience from a user perspective.
Now that you mention it, this is how the "Standalone" installer for
Bazaar works. It installs Python (the DLL), PyQt4, and all other
required DLLs, along with its own code in the form of Python extension
DLLs and "pyo" files, to Program Files\Bazaar.
If anyone is ever motivated to create such an installer, that would
probably be a good place to start looking. Unfortunately, I only found
one page with some outdated info (http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/
BzrWin32Installer), so someone would probably have to dig through the
code.
It might be worth looking into, at least in the long term. On the
other hand, the Python and PyQt installers are easy, and if Leo's
installer can be made to work consistently (as seems likely enough),
then it doesn't seem like /too/ large a barrier to entry.
On Linux we don't have this problem. The installers are dead easy as
good is your package manager, but now that you bring this on Windows I
have remembered PortableApps at www.portableapps.com I have tested with
people not fluent with computers and this is dead easy for them. I think
that there is even a portable app creator and would be really nice to
have Leo as a portable app for windows, to carry with you in your USB
thumb drive.
Cheers,
Offray
