The Saint Windows Arch is the Gateway to Linux
The Mono, Gtk# and XSP Combined Windows Installer project is doing very well! I have used InstallShield for a long time, but my admiration for NSIS won me over. That is until I had to do some "real scripting" in NSIS. I now swear by Inno Setup. The dude that created Inno Setup used Borland's Delphi, so it is no surprise that Inno uses Pascal Script. How much Pascal Script does Paco knows? Apparently enough. :) All of the Pascal I took in college came rushing in to assist me. OK, so let me put the mandatory URL for the latest installer and the strongly suggested screen shots (for all these Monoers that will not give it a whirl unless they see pictures :-D)Click on the desired picture to see the full size image.
