I tried it. It works. The only complaint I have is on the page where you select the components to install, the window listing all the plugins is way too skinny.
Seems there is plenty of room at the left, if you can get the 1 line of text over to the left to sit up above the box listing all the components.
Cheers

Alright, I have finished my beta10 of my installer, and I decided to release it today, and it is available for 7 days. It contains Code::Blocks 1.0 April 18st nightly (ANSI). By the time the seven days are up, I hope to have a new version, which will contain the latest nightly... Well, here it is! YSI says it will last either 7 days or 10 downloads, whichever comes first! So, the really important people should get this build ASAP!

Featureset:
* Code::Blocks transparent logo at startup
* Variable directory paths and start menu folders
* Componentization of C::B nightly based on RC2
* Quick, speedy installation
* Code::Blocks application logo used as icon for installer
* Basic rewrite complete
* MSI-like functionality written in
* InstallShield-style look, ultrahigh solid LZMA compression
* Repair functionality, allows repairing of installation if corrupt
* Componentized uninstallation
* MinGW included within package to support componentized uninstallation
* Components selection space adequate now
* System key identifies Codeblocks program correctly
Problems/Planned Features/Unfortunate Side-effects:
* Splash is dithered to 256 colours, working on getting it to work properly Limited by GIF format restrictions
* OS detection disabled and ANSI version is installed because installer incorrectly identifies all Windows OSes as Windows 2000, permitting installation of unicode version; still investigating
* Due to overwhelming opposition, hotpatching will NOT be included
EDIT: THIS IS THE NEW RC3rv2 build, containing a new ANSI build and various fixes in the installer script
THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL INSTALLER OF Code::Blocks!!! I just need some people to try it beforehand.

Please tell us if there is a newer ANSI-build is available by this installer!

Conan Kudo:
The new ANSI build is included now... Also, various fixes have been applied, including no dependancy on filenames... Hope you like it... Please be very critical and talk about bugs here, and other critiques...
