Title: Windows Installer Questions Post by: dczanik on December 30, 2012, 09:34:01 am Not so much a technical issue (yet?), but I'd like some advice for Ur-Quan Masters HD.
Or windows programmer has disappeared on us, so the task of making the Windows installer falls on my shoulders. I've never made a windows installer that downloads additional files off the internet. We're 24? hours away from releasing the game, and I'm afraid I might delay things for the Windows guys... :-[ How do you guys do it? Suggestions? Anything I should worry about?

There's an .nsi script located at trunk/build/win32_install/uqm-installer.nsi (http://code.google.com/p/uqm-hd/source/browse/trunk/build/win32_install/uqm-installer.nsi) which can be compiled into an .exe using the makensis tool (IIRC, makensis ./uqm-installer.nsi; on windows, you can probably rightclick on the .nsi file in Explorer and click "compile"). The .nsi script contains a few functions for picking a random mirror and doing the downloading/handling of packages.
