Re: New Windows Installer for test

I wanted to include the url in the message but I didn't see a way for
NSIS to insert a urls in a MessageBox.  Putting it in as plain text
would be less than useful for most users i'd think wouldn't it?

if it can be copied & pasted that would be better than nothing...

I'll see what I can work out for that.

In the mean time here's a new build you might like.  I know you've
been asking for a way to use the installer without internet access for
awhile so here's option one.

http://www.muleslow.net/files/bluefish/binaries/win32/nightlies/Bluefish-2.0.1-svn-r5910-tagalong-setup-20100506.exe
http://www.muleslow.net/files/bluefish/binaries/win32/nightlies/Bluefish-2.0.1-svn-r5910-tagalong-setup-20100506.exe.md5

I call it TagAlong mode since the extra files need to tag along.  You
can download the Gtk+ installer and dictionaries and place them in the
same directory as the installer, though I'll likely change that to a
subdirectory called redist or some such.  Anyways, before attempting
to download the file from the net it will first check if a local copy
exists, if it finds one it will check the md5 of the file against a
store value, if it matches it will install the local copy or if the
checksum fails it will revert to download mode.

For example the following files would allow you to install the default
English language install with spellcheck and GTK+ with no internet
connection.
bluefish/
bluefish/Bluefish-2.0.1-svn-r5910-tagalong-setup-20100506.exe
bluefish/gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe
bluefish/aspell6-en-6.0-0.tbz2

it does detect the local gtk copy and the spell check dictionary. However,
it doesn't actually run the gtk installer, so the executable won't load
with a message that libcairo is missing. The dictionary is installed fine.

when I manually start the gtk installer, and afterwards start the bluefish
installer things work as expected.
