Leif:
I totally agree that we should keep what's there - it obviously works
without any hitches, and I won't have any problems compiling it. I was just
saying that there are alternatives, not seriously promoting any of them.
InstallShield *still* is the industry standard (although I think MSI
technology and in particular VS 2003's built in MSI setup capabilities are
aimed at cutting into InstallShield's market, and I wonder how long
InstallShield can last with MS building setup into their core development
product).
