hi there..

I tried to use MSI installer.. but i found a couple of dark points..
first of all.. only language available is english.. if you want another you
have to open manually the msi and edit every string on it..
there is a lack of install windows, you cant add any new window to the
project...

i found that is only a base to build the msi itself... but if you need to do
something else you have to edit the output...

we turn out to use install shield...

HTH
