Hi, The other alternative is WiX from: Http://www.wixtoolset.org/ This is an xml-based msi (Windows installer) creation tool. The problems with the nsis installers currently are that it doesn't support compiling scripts on the fly, finds two many directories as I recall and doesn't support additional languages. I looked in to the effort required in creating something with WiX a while back, we would need to create some form of packager as this does get pretty involved, essentially copying xml fragments for each jaws version. If I were to reserect this effort in the new year, what would be the minimum operating system people would want? Also would people want multiple languages, or would just English suffice for now? Would people be interested in this being an open-source project on say GitHub? Also would a web-based packaging service be appropriate or would people want to package locally? Thoughts appreciated. Kind regards Sean. -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott Huey Sent: 29 December 2014 03:17 To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Scripts Installers I dunno, NSIS may be the best choice there is. It's comparable all the way back to windows xp, is open source, and supports a form of modular component plugin functionality which could (theoretically) enable code for finding required JAWS versioning details. It's also a package installer, and can support custom front end design to produce something clean up front. Maybe the biggest boon would be to just design a packagER (emphasis on the E-R there) for use with NSIS to wrap the arbitrary JAWS script sets into the installer to make it easy to do. > On Dec 28, 2014, at 8:59 PM, Jim Snowbarger <Snowman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi guys, Hope your having a nice holiday. > So, where do we stand on general purpose jaws script installers these days? > I have the idea that JSX is out of date, and that it will not be further > maintained. > I have NSIS, but it is pretty complicated, and probably more than one would > need. > Is there one that will handle all the myriad OS's and jaws versions? > Any recommendations? > > > > __________� > > View the list's information and change your settings at > //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts > __________� View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts __________� View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
