Nullsoft's NSIS is a nice open source scriptable installer system for windows that let's you do just about anything.. maybe think about making a distutils module for that instead? http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/ On Monday, September 30, 2002, at 11:40 AM, Bruce Mitchener wrote:

Is there anything in distutils that could aid in this? I believe that 'python setup.py bdist_wininst' will create a win32 installer, but it will only do so on Windows. It also has some limitations (there's no facility for putting anything into your Start menu, for example) but it does at least get all the files in the right place. The trouble is that it requires MSVC++, and so has to run actually on a windows box, and can't be automated on our unix release server.
I've run this for a release or two in the past. It is pretty easy and painless when no one breaks it and only takes a few minutes.
