The Tcl Java 1.1.1 Windows installer uses InstallWizard, which
is a commercial product from InstallShield (www.installshield.com)
The script.rul file used to generate the installer and the Adobe
PhotoShop splash screen have been checked into the tcljava CVS
repository for some time now. The files are in the
tclblend/dists/tclblend directory
To make things more convenient, I've provided
a copy of that directory at
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cxh/java/tcljava/dists/tclblend/
At this point, my interest in Tcl Blend is basically at an end, so I'm
not very likely to be creating another Tcl Blend installer. I think
that MSVC++ comes with a 'lite' version of InstallWizard, but I'm not
sure.
I'm in the process of converting over our Java infrastructure to use
Jacl instead of Tcl Blend. We use Tcl for testing our Java code, and
it works well. My problem with Tcl Blend is that it is tricky to
install, since it relies on finding Tcl. Installing Jacl is much
easier than installing Tcl Blend, so in this context, I'd rather use
Jacl.
I was considering creating a standalone Java installer for Jacl using
JInstall from InstallShield, but I'll probably hack on other
installers first.
We are making available a version of Jacl available for download. The
primary difference betweeen this version and Jacl 1.1.1 is that it
does not require two jar files; instead everything is bundled into one
jar file called ptjacl.jar. The other difference is that I'm randomly
pulling in changes from Jacl 1.2, but I'm not necessarily pulling in
everything.
ptjacl.jar can be found at:

I added this fix to makefile.vc. It will show up in release 1.2.3.

Ok. The installer is "owned" by Christopher Hylands. I can not help with
installer problems.
