Dave,
I have successfully created a ODBC installer and it looks almost identical to the current MSI one.
I looked at the M$ stuff you mentioned and the learning curve is pretty high.
I created this one with Inno Setup 5 and it only took a few minutes and is much easier to use than MSI or that xml msi stuff
Like I said, I would be willing to take over creating the installer if you don't mind switching to Inno Setup.
I could also do the setup for PGAdmin III :-)
Hi Tony,
Thanks, however as I said we intentionally use MSI based setup because of the benefits of features such as merge modules, custom actions and the fact that it's Microsoft's supported installation technique. I realise that you dislike supporting them, but there's little sense avoiding using their tools when targeting their platform - especially when they do make them Open Source.
Feel free to try again with Wix if you like - I think I mentioned that it has a decompiler, so porting the installer MSM and then it's MSI files should simply be a case of running the decompiler on each of 2 existing files, and doing a little cleaning work.
Regards, Dave.
