Re: installshield

The problem is - can we get installshield to configure IIS/apache/<webserver of choice> ??? Otherwise we're not doing much good then unzipping the files.. ----- Brendan W. McAdams | ph.

Being a recovering windows user, I think that an install shield is a good idea - as long as it works well. :) Many win users have a phobia about installing software - even when the process is ameliorated by an installer. I feel that having an installer will make php much more accessible. >Anyway, if you have time to do it why not..

I think that this would be great! If it is well done, it should cut down many of the oft-asked questions... - Zak -- PHP Quality Assurance Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-qa-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-qa-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
