Re: [PHP-GTK] Re: Win32 PHP-GTK2 Installer

1. If you want it, sure. 8)

2. It is actually installable via the command line, add a /S to it and the default install will happen without a gui or the need to choose anything.

3. Gnope is old. Last release was on 7/19/2006... 8( Not framiliar with the wix one. So if I have wasted time trying to help some folks out... my bad. 8(

4. I show both licenses in the install. First the PHP one, then the LGPL one (run the install again) 8)

5. This is easy to add. And I really doubt installing to c:\program files\php\pre2.0.0 will mess anything up, unless other folks are installing to a subdirectory named the same thing.

6. If the double click isn't registering, then I probably borked something as it works for me. Let me know your system details and I will try to duplicate.

7. Where can I find the nice square version for use as an icon?

Thanks for the feedback. 8)

1. is the source available  for the installer

2. why are you using an .exe instead of a standard .msi (windows 
installer tools/command line installs can't be used with .exe)

3. How is this any better than the already available gnope installer or 
the code for the wix created installer?  Why didn't you join one of 
those projects instead of creating an all new one?  How many windows 
installers do we need?

4. Although you show the PHP license, gtk is released under a different 
open source license (lgpl) which should also be included for legal 
reasons with the "I agree" clickthrough (just dumping it in a license 
directory is not enough)

5. You don't leave any choice as to the location of the installer, and 
putting it inside PHP is a good way to totally hose any existing PHP 
install(s)

6. You're not registering a double click file extension which is 
something windows users will expect (.phpw or .phpg are the usual - 
.phpg was used for the gtk1 installer, .phpw is what gnope uses)

7. PHP-GTK already has one logo....
