Provide Window's Installer #164

Open jreadey opened 8 years ago

jreadey commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to have a Window's Installer and release msi binaries rather than .exe's. For one thing, I noticed on Window's the extraction that happens on startup is rather slow.

We already touched the topic in the past: https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf-compass/issues/51#issuecomment-140285475

Did you decide the installer? Inno Setup, NSIS, or something else?

jreadey commented 8 years ago

I haven't done any research on it. If you'd like to take this on, you have my support!

What is the installer that the HDF Group uses for the various products?

jreadey commented 8 years ago

I haven't created any Window Installers myself, but we've used NSIS for other products.
