Other OpenSource installation projects

I browsed around sourceForge to find any other installation programs and to my surprise there were only a few and most had only one developer. This is a surprise, since I would imagine that every product needs an installer (well many do), and I had assumed there would be some sort of community process going on for a cross platform installer. Well, actually there are quite a few going on, but they are no where near a usable state.

I did however find a few projects that I hope will be of help, these and others can be found at:

OpenSETUP and Spoon-Installer seemed interesting.

There is however a stable mature installer, that has been used in many programs called "Nullsoft "SuperPiMP" Install System", NSIS for short. There is a lot of documentation available. The address is:
