>(I still don't see why we have two official > installers...). The reason why we introduced an MSI installer is for the convenience of deploying OpenAFS as a managed package in an Active Directory environment. While the MSI can be run interactively, it can also be deployed to many computers without any user intervention. Many configuration options can be customized to suit a particular organization (see msi-deployment-guide.txt). In addition, the MSI is designed to detect and properly deal with other versions of OpenAFS / Transarc AFS installed on a target machine. The NSIS installer, on the other hand, is a better choice for interactive installation in an unmanaged environment (or a managed environment where OpenAFS is not a managed package). -- Asanka
