Hi Philip, CMake supports integration with NSIS. Not sure if there is support for MSI yet. Wix looks like a promising candidate. Do NSIS provide the feature we want (install the MSVC redistribuables if needed)? Anyway, putting the links on the download page could always be useful I think.

Hi Philip, Yeah, those ZIP releases of the OSG 2.8.0 prebuilts should really have the following files placed in the bin folder so they work out-of-the-box on Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista without anyone having to install the MSVC runtime crap. IMHO, installing the MSVC runtime

Hi Philip, I'll defer to others (Robert) for the decision, but I don't agree with your point of view. I think the redist is as close to a set of system DLLs as it can be without being on the actual Windows installation CD, so I think there's no point in putting copies of it everywhere on your

Do end users download and install OSG? What on earth do they do with it? I believe the intent of the binary packages is to provide a shortcut for developers on Windows to get OSG and the dependencies. If that's the case, then it wouldn't make any sense to include the MSVC. The official

Hi all, I think I'll bow out of this discussion, we're not going forward at all and instead concentrating on relatively uncommon use cases. I think the big picture is the case where the binaries are used either to evaluate OSG for an upcoming project or to use in an existing project. In

Yes, I have SP1. I just noticed that none of the dll's have the execute bit set. My cacls knowledge isn't good enough to know exactly what it is that should be set. It's easy to just grant everyone full control (and it does fix the problem), but I suspect that isn't the correct solution.
