How about using XPInstall engine stand alone ? i.e. oputside of Mozillia itself I find prioducts like ZeroG and Install Sheild to be sorely lacking. > > linux and Mac need an installshield thingy for the users who don't know > > how to add & remove thingys properly. > > > > also is there any way of making the registry accessible by external > > applications? > > > > BtW my email is [EMAIL PROTECTED], this is my dads box....mine > > temporarily down cos powercut whilst recompiling the kernel [red hat] Samir Gehani (responded): > The install wizards are GUI's that collect user installation > preferences and then proceed to use the XPInstall engine to perform > the actual installation. > Thats good i.e. an install wizard should do just that and then send information to a "generic" layer i.e. XPInstall engine. > > The windows and mac install wizards are already part of the builds and > can be obtained from: > > Mac: > ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/MozMacInstaller-M15.sea.bin > > Win32: > ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32-installer.exe > I believe the above EXE file is a massive 7MB, does this include XPInstall engine and the entire Mozillia structure (with a JRE bundle) ? Could I make an installer for a simple Java (or Win32) based "HelloWorld" application rather than Mozillia - if so how big would the hello-win32-installer.exe be (I hope not 7MB) ? > > The Linux install wizard is complete and will be part of the build > soon.

I guess I am trying to ask/find out is the XPInstall engine was designed to be used stand alone - outside of the context of Mozillia ? If so are there any concrete examples (I was unable to find iny in my quick searches) ? > > linux and Mac need an installshield thingy for the users who don't know > > how to add & remove thingys properly. > > > > also is there any way of making the registry accessible by external > > applications? > > > > BtW my email is [EMAIL PROTECTED], this is my dads box....mine > > temporarily down cos powercut whilst recompiling the kernel [red hat]
