Actually, the installer source is available right on the gnope site -

I had a look at this now, also at NSIS itself (apologies to everybody expecting work from me today). Seems like a good system - I'm wondering now what disadvantages it has (if any) as compared to Wix, which is easiest to code/maintain and which has the smallest overhead... mainly wondering because the Wix system uses .msi, which everybody is familiar with and which is better supported in the Windows environment, particularly when it comes to networks. The new PHP installer on php.net is created with Wix, mostly for that reason, and this in fact replaced the original NSIS code.

Doesn't matter to me - whatever works :) Just as long as we don't do something stupid (adding the php-gtk2 version of the gtk+ runtime to the global $PATH comes to mind) I'll be happy (is off to install wix)
