[Mono-dev] What about the Windows setup of Mono?

[Wade Berrier]

Take a look at svn for what I'm doing with the setup script:

http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/release/windows-installer/

Specifically Mono_template.iss.

The process I'm using is quite different than previous windows
installers.

That being said, there will potentially be some unexpected surprises
with the installers being built this way because the process is so
different.  Please extend your (as in the mono community) patience as we
work through any problems that may (and probably will) come up.
