You don't have to tinker with installers, but *please*, for all of us 
writing applications using GTK+, pick an installer someone else has 
written and link to it.  There's been several discussed here, and they 
all seem to be quite decent.  I maintain one at 
http://www.dropline.net/gtk which uses the same registry keys as all the 
others I've seen.  It doesn't matter which one you link you, but I 
really think it needs to be done to prevent more and more people from 
writing their own, poorly thought-out installers, as the original poster 
here seems to have found.

Not having a clear idea of what other GTK+ libs a user has installed 
makes writing and distibuting GTK+ applications very difficult.  If the 
library was smaller, we could distribute it with the applications 
themselves, at 4 megs, that's not really practical.  Other people have 
already come foreward and are willing to do the work--I'm one of them. 
All we want is a link to *one* site, or at the very least, "official" 
instructions for where to install the libraries and what registry key 
should be used to store the installation location.

Please?
