[IronPython] Final release packaging

[J. de Hooge]

Although other options of course are welcome, I personally favor the
zero-impact installation.
It gives me insight and precise control.
 
By the way I think RC2 is quite good. Before my holicays I tried RC1 and
many things fall over in my apps.
I anticipated to have a lot to repair after the holidays, but with RC2
everything seems to run alright again.

Our intention is to continue our tradition of zero-impact installers and
release the 1.0 as the zip file.
It seems though that it may be worth looking at the msi release (in addition
to the zip file) as a possibility...

Subject: [IronPython] Final release packaging


I haven't heard any discussion about how the final release will be packaged.
Will it be similar to the existing releases or a more polished msi? I'd like
to see an installer with that drops the binaries into a known location and
adds it to the system path, add itself to add/remove programs, etc- at least
create a shell shortcut so that I can do start->run->ipy. Maybe register an
association with.py files(asking first, of course.)

Thoughts?
