[Mono-list] Cross Platform Installer Question?

[Daniel Lopez]

Hello -e-

The current MonoBundle installer for Linux is done using BitRock
InstallBuilder http://www.bitrock.com  (disclaimer: I work for BitRock)
It also runs on Windows and Solaris (OSX and Linux-PPC coming soon)

The current Mono installer for Windows made by Paco is based on InnoSetup
http://www.innosetup.org  (Windows only)

For multiplatform installers that run on Windows and Linux, other than
BitRock, your choices are all Java-based afaik
(http://www.installshield.com, htttp://www.zerog.com) which is kind of
ironic if you want to install Mono :) 

If you want more details on BitRock, please drop me aline offlist

Un saludo

Daniel
