After Some Suggestions

Wow! I asked and I received!

We had 88 downloads for the mono-1.1.7-gtksharp-1.9.3-win32-0.1.exe installer file. I have now removed that file and I have now uploaded the revised installer (mono-1.1.7-gtksharp-1.9.3-win32-0.2.exe).

Thank you very much for all of the testing! You all bring up great points. Some of the cosmetic issues (like the Mono bitmaps that the installer uses) will probably wait for a later release.

Corrected:

- The opening sentence on the ReleaseNotes.

- A new dllmap entry in /etc/mono/config corrected the problems with rsvg-2 missing dll

- I managed to build xsp2 ( a new test for gmcs in the configure.in was keeping it from building)

As far as the Gtk# not being installed in the MS GAC, it is the correct behavior. You may want to look into the Gtk# Win32 Installer for the .NET Framework SDK which does install project templates for Visual Studio .NET 2003 and does perform MS GAC installation of Gtk#.

I could not include the Mono SQL Query that I have been including for the past few installers. There appears to be a problem (I think is a UI related problem) that is keeping it from loading. Daniel Morgan, if you discover anything on this let me know so we can revise the installer.

Thank you once more for the great feedback and keep it coming! :)

Update

Urs did some more testing and caught some oversight of mine (not re-including the batch/shell script files for the xsp2 and mod-mono-server2.

Thanks to his observations, corrections were made and new XSP 2.0 Start Menu entries were created. This will allow for easy testing of all of the coolness that Gonzalo, Lluis and others have been working on to give us a look at some of Mono's take on ASP.NET 2.0. Some new capabilities include Mater Pages, TreeControls and more!

I hope you like it.
