Why choose Inno Setup?

BigAngryDog:
Unfortunately, I do care. :)

Doesn't matter what I think of MS or Vista. It is still the OS most users have.

And I'm wondering whether I need to be packaging my own projects as MSI, and what is the best way to go about.

BigAngryDog:
>Beginning with Vista, M$ is going to impose the use of Windows Installer

From what I have been reading, I don't believe this to be true.

You have frightened me. Please don't do it again. :)

In all other windows, compatibility is the number 2 issue they worried (number 1 is GUI). Above even to file/hardware security. I dont think Vista will be different.
I think they will try to push their installer, but probably they will suport older installers.

Personally i will never install Vista. I am already doing a migration from Win 98 to Ubuntu, so i will never need to install this gay SO (you know.... too many collors  :shock:). Their virtual directories are the dumbest thing i ever saw in a SO. Sadly they hadnt learned with mount from Linux :( And im still worried about their (next step) anti-piracy system. I dont want a SO prohibing me to install blacklisted programs like Nero, or CloneCD.

But i think were going too off topic here  :oops:

What can you say about an operating system that needs a gigabyte of RAM and a 128 MB graphics card only to display the window manager... and then it does not even support OpenGL. :lol:
Dark times ahead...
