   Ah. I knew there was some simple way to echo a blank line.
   But strangely, echo    worked fine on my computer (I tested very
   thoroughly in-fact... didn't help!)
  
  Oh wait a minute, I tested in wine instead of windows :P Inno was a
  pain to use...
 
  I wonder if we should try switching to NSIS instead? I haven't tried it
  yet, but I have heard good things about it.

 Well, I mean it was a pain to use under wine; especially because I had
 problems with the command prompt emulator.
 
 What advantages would switching away have?  You want to give the
 option of downloading extra packages like high quality music in the
 installer? Since Inno is scriptable, I bet it can do that.

Actually, my main reason was because Innosetup is free-as-in-beer byt 
not open source. NSIS is open source.

The only thing I know NSIS can do that Inno can't is fully automated 
installs, which I don't care about.

An option to download high quality music would be a fantastic feature. 
Perhaps they can both do it, but I would be curious which can do it 
best/easiest

I used to use NSIS some time back. So long ago, in fact, that I can't
even remember what for. I think it might have been for work, actually,
where we had a lot of tricky dependencies and regstry keys and
databases and printer drivers and so on.

I think the main difference is that Inno is a bit easier to set up and
a bit less flexible. Unless we actually want to do something obscure
and complicated, I doubt we need to change.

Actually, this only broke the windows installer part of the nightly 
build. The rest of the builds were broken because (A) I forgot to svn 
update the changes to distrib-nightly-win.bat and (B) the nightly build 
box's ethernet cable was unplugged... oops!
