Actually, its not so much registry entries but being able to muck with the path information, etc. For ImageMagick alone, if the user decides he/she wants to install stuff in a weird location--then all the environment variables need to all be updated. I'm sure I'll run across other things that could be automated during an install so a user can just point and click.

David,

No you do not need Cygwin.  Per Greg you could use the scripts in windows
directory, but I personally could never got those scripts working for me.

I will ftp to your server the *.dsw files today or tomorrow.

I am puzzeled about installer to to take care of registry entries.  Those
codes
were disabled because they require you also have a License available fro
OpenDX.

 Subject: [opendx-dev] Windows compiling


 Okay, so I'm ready to start compiling up this Windows stuff with the
 VSC6 stuff and have a few questions to get started. Do I need to have
 cygwin installed in order to configure stuff to do the compile. From
 Greg's note yesterday about setting the right environment up--I take
 this as yes.

 If not, what are the first few things I need to do to set this up.
 Anybody build the .dsw stuff to configure within Visual Studio? I did
 a compile of ImageMagick this morning following there somewhat
 lengthy Win32 build instructions with all their fancy build stuff.
 After it was built, following the rest of their instructions, I now
 see what Greg was saying about needing to write an installer that
 takes care of all the registry editing.

 I noted that in the past, Suhaib and Greg have stated that they had
 VSC project files. If I don't need to configure stuff with
 cygwin--anybody want to send me their project files?
