Charles and all: NSIS is widely used by the open source community (I use it for several of my products). You'll also find a couple of good NSIS script editors: Venis (http://www.spaceblue.com/venis/welcome.php) and HM NIS EDIT (http://hmne.sourceforge.net/). If you work under Eclipse, there is a plugin available (see http://nsis.sourceforge.net/EclipseNSIS_-_NSIS_plugin_for_Eclipse) As pointed out before by Lorin, Inno Setup is also a very good option and I have to say that the owner's domain name (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) is so close to J's that it makes it a heavy favorite :-) best Pascal
