This isn't actually correct. The default installer does not itself contain the GTK+ Runtime - that is correct, but it does attempt to download and install the appropriate GTK+ Runtime version if it needs to, which works for the vast majority of people. You don't need to use the "offline" installer unless you're either trying to install while offline or are have a (relatively unusual) network configuration where the NSIS installer download functionality is unable to download the GTK+ runtime when it isn't present. In this case a message describing the problem is displayed along with a URL from which the offline installer can be downloaded. If for some reason, the above isn't happening, then it is indeed a problem, but I just tested it and it appears to work fine. -D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
