Announcing bdist_msi 1.0b1

I'm happy to announce the first beta release of my long-planned distutils command bdist_msi, at http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/bdist_msi/ http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/bdist_msi/bdist_msi-1.0b1.win3... http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/bdist_msi/bdist_msi-1.0b1.zip Please let me know what you think; it may take some weeks before I can respond, though. Regards, Martin

It took me far longer than that to get round to checking it out, sorry :-) One extremely minor point: - bdist_wininst installs a package (in "Add/Remove Programs" under the name "Python 2.4 whatever n.nn", but bdist_msi misses out the "Python 2.4" part. I find the inclusion of "Python" in the name is very useful to group Python packages together in the list - would it be possible to make bdist_msi match bdist_wininst in this? Regards, Paul.
