Thanks Arnaud. Using NSIS is not a requirement.
I just used NSIS as a starting point, as I've used it before years ago.
I suppose what we need is:
a) Something that created windows packages :)
b) Has a configuration, or script, or similar, that can be shared online.
NSIS uses a text file. This gives the details of the package, and how
the installer works.
Does Visual Studio offer something similar? Maybe output for the Microsoft WiX
toolset?
There might be other things, but they're the main points I can think of at the
moment.
Anything we use to build installers that we distribute on libvirt.org
must be using a 100% open source tool chain. This rules out any use of
Visual Studio, etc. There is, however, an open source WiX toolset on
sourceforge IIRC.
