I didn't test rev4.

Tried rev4(2). It works like a charme on an XP system. Great work, it looks good and it has everything needed. Thank you very much!

Tomorrow, I'll prepare different test scenarios and do additional tests.

One question:
In local mode uninstallation, the folders share/locale will be left on the system in the install path. Can those be removed as well?

change "local" into "locale" in line 157
this is why the folder is not deleted.

This was an advanced installer script
and I learned many new things
Thank you too

Thanks for the hint!

Hopefully, your good work is interesting for other users at this forum too (at least Galeon will profit as well). When I use your installer for my software, I'll add a link to your website and a note that the win installer was created by you. (Please confirm, or tell me what you want to see.)

If you like to learn more, I have some additional ideas:
  • * Some more information can be given on the GTK installation check, ie. the found version can be showed.
    * Before offering to download, the installer can check if an GTK installer is avialable on a CD/USB stick path.
    * Before offering to download, the installer can check if an internet connection is avialable.

Putting a note about me and a link to my website is appreciated
but I don't expect anyone to do this

I am using open source software written by others. i.e. FreeBASIC and NSIS
This is the least possible job done by me to thank the authors.

I'd like to develop the script further more
but currently I'm too busy
Maybe a new update gets released in a few weeks/months/years !! :)
