I have decide to try to build the Windows installer.
Will be reporting possible issues in this thread.

First thing I say several URL links and some of them are very old.
ReportBugs still goes to developer.berlios.de.
Download_OW seems to be broken for me at least.
Possible site to use http://www.openwatcom.org/
Download_MinGW seems to go to a very old mingw installer!
Download_BCC55 is broken.
I would suggest Download_BCC55 pointing to http://www.cprogramming.com/borland.html

What windows installer? The ISS is no longer supported. Its dated back to Beta1 or so...

Both; but, NSIS first.

You'll need to use nsis 3.

Edit: I will submit an updated comment only patch for setup.nsi when I get farther along.


I think there is a mistake in a comment; I think "include" is more correct than "exclude".

Edit2: Removed code section.

Applied both. In fact, I am not yet finished with the wx30 installer but the second one looks OK anyways.
