Guys,<br><br>as discussed with Fred and Praveen, I strongly disagree with storing binary blobs in the SVN, even (more) if it's (just) for packaging Windows!<br><br>@Fred and Praveen: please revert r2940.<br>Just commit:<br>
- the packaging recipe needed for WIX<br>- resources that can't be obtained or generated another way.<br><br>For libusb and other .dll deps, these should be satisfied by the build system, and extracted from there.<br>
so a procedure to setup this build system + some completion to the build script should be sufficient (for buildbot or anybody wanting to generate packages).<br><br>Finally, what are these .ibd files?<br><br>As a side note, we may even want in the future to convert .ico from .png or whatever standard format we already for the same pictures.<br>
This can for example be achieved using Image Magik.<br><br>cheers,<br>Arnaud<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/3/17 Frédéric Bohé <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fredericbohe@eaton.com">fredericbohe@eaton.com</a>></span><br>

</div>We choose WIX because it produces .MSI files whereas NSIS only produce<br>
executable.<br>
MSI files seems to be the preferred format for Windows installer<br>
nowadays since MSI files can be deployed through Active Directory on<br>
remote machines and restore points are created by the OS when a MSI file<br>
is installed.<br>
