I did subscribe to the dev list and I emailed Stefano individually. I
thought someone would be excited about this and email me back.

Shiraz,

Your email didn't reach the list, probably is stuck in moderation. Mails go
easily through when you are sending from the actual mail account which you
have subscribed to the list.

Well I was able to send the email to the dev list before.  Did someone
unsubscribe me. I just started with this list and I said a few days
ago that I was going to pick up the task of writing the windows
install utility.

Please check again if you are properly subscribe or try again to subscribe.

Every contribution is welcome, especially the first one from a new
contributor. :-)

Thanks! I have always found all my fellow beings quite helpful be it a
procmail list or some java related list.

Before every successful contribution, there is some learning how to
contribute in the right way. That means, getting to know how all the people
who are contributing to Apache projects do it.
For example, see http://james.apache.org/contribute.html , but be sure to
study some more reading stuff around James and Apache, which you'd easily
find on our website.

Ok I was trying to avoid that but will get on it ASAP.

There is no way around it. Please try to adopt our way of working together!


After that, I am sure you are aware of our open source philosophy, that
everything is about working together and writing source code.
That means sharing the actual code.

Absolutely. The only thing is that I am using a setup utility that
builds this executable. I can provide the project file for it if you
wish but a special setup utility may need to be used to read the
script.

This is not a good idea. Being an open source project, everybody must be able to maintain the setup, without buying any software or working on a specific OS.

If that is unworkable I can begin with the VC++ version of it ASAP.

I think it is a better idea to work with a Java based installer. see
   http://java-source.net/open-source/installer-generators
for some.

Please note also that the right mailing list for development is not this
 list, since it is reserved for user questions. Please move the discussion
over to the server-dev mailing list.

Done

Didn't work. I moved the thread over.
Please don't cross-post to more than one list.
Please make sure you are properly subscribed to server-dev.

What technology did you use to write the Windows Installer?

setupbuilder

where do I find that?
is that an open source tool? does it require a license fee?
