Thanks for the reply, unfortunately the application I installed, is
only a few months old (Sept 2002), and it does have a bad installer.
By installing this application, I effectively broke all other GTK apps
on my system. This does not give a good impression of GTK for the
casual user.
I am not suggesting that you create the installer, you do more than
enough to keep the Win32 port of GKT going, instead I was suggesting
that perhaps you could have a link to an official or semi-official
installation, I like what has been done at:
http://www.dropline.net/gtk/support.html, I have not tried any ofthe
other installers, but they may be as good or better.
Thanks,
Clive
