Would it be possible to go with something Open Source and build-able/built with MinGW-w64 such as: http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/i686/mingw-w64-i686-qt-installer-framework-git-r2283.0d529d9-1-any.pkg.tar.xz/download http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt-installer-framework-git-r2283.0d529d9-1-any.pkg.tar.xz/download Documentation is at: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-Installer-Framework Example shell script and metadata files (used to create MSYS2 installers): https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/msys2-installer Cheers, Ray. > > > On Tuesday, October 14, 2014 7:57 AM, niXman <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Ruben Van Boxem 2014-10-14 16:47: > >> Well, I honestly don't really care what installer you use as long as it >> works (that's why I brought it up now ;-)), but should you leave the >> project suddenly for whatever reason (sickness, death, work, etc.), >> there >> would be no installer anymore.
