You will need to re-download it in that case - the download is to a temporary location and is deleted after the installer is complete. > It is suggested to ask for location to save the downloaded file and store it > there and run from there.

If you want a version of the installer that will not need to download GTK+ if it isn't present, you should use the "Offline" installer. There already is a way to accomplish the goal of avoiding several downloads, there doesn't need to be a change to make the "Online" installer more complicated. > -- > My previous version of pidgin installer was already having gtk in the zip > file.

Yes, if it is a recent enough version. -D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
