Hello!

 

Please excuse me if this question seems off-topic: please bear with me, to
see why I've posed this question here. On that note:

 

Does anyone know of a cross-platform installer that can be used well with
deploying mono? 

 

I want to make sure that my app will be easily installed on at least Linux
and Windows machines, and I figured having a symmetrical build process
across both platforms will make development much easier (knock on wood).

 

The reason I ask this on this list, rather then somewhere else, is that I am
hoping someone knows of a solution that will aid me in deploying the mono
runtime on an end-user machine if necessary. My application, when it
finishes, will be heavily reliant on mono, and I'd like to make sure that
end-users don't have to fight to get the runtime installed.

 

Does anyone know of a solution like the one I mention? Your help would be
appreciated!

 

Thanks,

 

-e-
