Hi Laurent, Thanks for the update. For release 3.05, we're making some changes that you should probably want to take into account: 1. We've moved to MSVS2005. This means that the redistributable dlls are now *80* instead of *71* 2. The installation-related scripts have been moved to their own subdirectory, 'install'. This means that paths to the components will probably need to be changed. 3. The NSIS install script now offers the user an option of selecting a "green" installation, which doesn't write to the target machine's registry (preferences will be kept in a ".cfg" file instead. This also means that to uninstall, the user just needs to delete the installation directory. This is meant for folks who want passwordsafe on a disk-on-key, without touching the host's registry. 4. The NSIS install script now offers to configure passwordsafe to start upon user login, installing a shortcut to the Startup folder if selected. Let me know if you want to update your script to take the above into account, or if you'd like me to commit it 'as-is' with a note that it's updated for 3.04. If you wish, I can send you a snapshot of the current code base.

The main benefits of this contribution are: - silent/unattended setup using a previously made answer file. - setup is done for all users and not only the current user - a file association is created for .psafe3 extension. I'm attaching an update which now may eventually be included in the build process using "make". See in the attached Makefile.Release the "installable-iss" target. This new version doesn't need any more to be modified for each new release to change the version constant. A build made from 3.0.4 binary distribution is available at http://taciturne.net/it-notes/microsoft/windows/pwsafe/pwsafe-3.04.exe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
