Hi Christian(s)!
I know most people dislike <Program Files>. I do too! But it's the closest we have to a 'standard' place for installing applications.
It's not the 'standard'. To name a few examples, all of Python, Lotus Notes and, perhaps most tellingly, IIS and Microsoft's other server offerings, don't install themselves in Program Files, they create their own top level directory.
Just as a note, those are pretty 'Advanced' applications. OTOH, Zope is too. So I buy your argument. What's your proposal for default Installation and Instance directories?
Some more questions:
- what's the difference between a Full and Compact installation?
Good question. I just copied that over from the old installer. I will remove it, it doesn't seem to do anything useful.
- what's the process going to be to get these releases onto zope.org? (I'm quite happy to do this manually if needed ;-) )
Yeah, my guess is that someone will do at least some quick QA before uploading it. So yes, manual would be preferred.
Many thanks for your work on this, though!
