A Nullsoft Scriptable Installation System Installer for Orbiter 060929.
Allows the user to select the desired Orbiter components and choose an installation folder. Downloads & installs the selected components, and creates Start Menu shortcuts for the Orbiter simulator, the main Orbiter documentation, and a automatic uninstaller.
No changes are made to the system registry or add/remove programs, in keeping with the light-weight natures of Orbiter installs.
To-Do:
-Add Orbiter branding/images to installer pages.
-Add SDK documentation shortcuts when SDK is installed
-Add Desktop shortcut if requested
-Allow for installation of popular add-ons, with author permission
-Select random mirror from currently available Orbiter version mirrors
I also intend to develop a version of this installer which will download all Orbiter packages and create an 'Install CD'.Â
The goal of this lightweight installer is to assist home users, while the 'Install CD' version will be for schools, etc.
