[QUOTE="sa_ddam213, post: 1011798, member: 89205"] The idea is for MPEM to take care of the first few points. My idea is to have pre-defined installer templates, only devs that want over the top custom installers will need to see the code. I'm sure we can make enough templates to suit the majority plugins, and they will be customizable to a limit in the Wizard, So you can set the dialogs you need (Welcome, Directory, Component, InstallFiles, finish) like most do with NSIS, set background images stuff like that. As the MPEM InstallerService will be doing the install part, the actual package is not really important, the Wix part was mainly so the installers can be used on PC's other than your MediaPortal box, otherwise you would be using MPEM to install, which basically unpacks and sends to the service. And NSIS and Wix are probably the best option I can think of to cover this. I would love to get some idea flowing, I'm sure we can think of a good solution so we can get this thing going :) [/QUOTE]
