I am interested in adding some metadata in the installers generated by bdist_wininst. I did it through a hack: base64-encoding the medata in a new section in the embedded cfgdata. From my understanding the installer.c sources, this seems safe, and the generated installer does work, but I am wondering whether there is a better way of doing it, and whether it could potentially breaks something,
Why not use a file that gets installed in the system?
Because I don't want the file installed. I am interested in doing this for arbitrary packages (the goal is to add support for egg <-> windows installer conversion in my packaging solution) David
