I think that is a no go. .NET is not cross-platform.

Ah...but the Mono-Project is cross-platform and is supposed to run .NET code.

Maybe NSIS can be used in the future.

Mono is only for C# projects... It will eventually encompass C++ though...

Hi Pharoah Atem,
Is the hotpatching/webpatching stuff working yet? Once your installer is done, how does it allow one to update to most recent version/nightly? Is it quicker?
Thanks.

It is really easy to update C::B using my installer, but it requires you to reinstall... You do NOT have to redownload the installer, just run it... It will show a page similar to the one below: (This is from the C::B installer dev-PP1)
Simply select to continue setup and just run the process... It will pull the files and install right over it, but it SHOULD preserve your settings...

Cool. That looks pretty nice!

Alright, I have finished my Public Prerelease of my installer, and I decided to release it today, and it is available until the next version is ready. It contains Code::Blocks 1.0 rv2417. Well, here it is!
Link: Need special access! If you wish to gain access to the installer, you must register at RGW-Net and send a private message to "Pharaoh Atem" on there with the subject "Want to be added to Special Testers!" in order to be transferred into the testers group so that you can download the installer! Click here to go to the site and register if you have not already, and if you are in the testers group already, click on the link to the installer on the page! The few of you who MAY have an indev build, must remove it before installing this one! After this one, upgrading will be supported!
WARNING!!! MinGW is not selected to be installed BY DEFAULT!!! You must select to install it!
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
* Basic rewrite complete
* MSI-like functionality written in
* Vista-style look, ultrahigh solid LZMA compression
* Repair functionality, allows repairing of installation if corrupt
* Componentized uninstallation
* MinGW included to support componentized uninstallation
* Components selection space adequate now
* System key identifies Codeblocks program correctly
* Depending on version of OS, installer will install either the Unicode or the ANSI version
Problems/Planned Features/Unfortunate Side-effects:
* Splash is dithered to 256 colours, limited by GIF format restrictions
* Due to overwhelming opposition, hotpatching will NOT be included
THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL INSTALLER OF Code::Blocks!!! I just need some people to try it beforehand.
