Mark Hammond 7c5c8e6823 #2581: Vista UAC/elevation support for bdist_wininst 2008-05-02 12:48:15 +00:00
Thomas Heller 74db40419e The wininst.exe is no longer compressed with UPX. 2004-06-18 18:29:46 +00:00
Thomas Heller b4fb86243e The wininst-6.exe template binary for bdist_wininst is now linked
with zlib-1.2.1.

Thomas Heller cad71d0a4a To avoid problems with conflicting dlls, the windows installers built
by bdist_wininst *must* use the same runtime libary as the Python
version.

Actually this means the Python version where the installer is run, not
the one which is used to build it.  Must think about that - for now I
assume MSVC6 is used up to Python 2.3, and MSVC7.1 is used starting at
Python 2.4.

So the filename for wininst.exe is now wininst-6.exe for the Release
version and wininst-6_d.exe for the Debug version, when built with
MSVC6.

Thomas Heller b0cd38c985 Oops, MSVC was still open, so the project file was not yet saved. 2002-11-22 20:43:30 +00:00
Thomas Heller bb4b7d2d68 Copied the sources from the distutils CVS repository.
Changed the MSVC project file to create the exe in the
lib/distutils/command directory, bdist_wininst.py must still be
changed to use it.

Also changed to use the same zlib as the zlib module - this has the nice
sideeffect that now the buggy 1.1.3 version is no longer used.

Most of the source files now conform to PEP 7, except for the maximum
line length.  Windows api programming in 78 character lines =:(.

README.txt is a new file, but still empty except for placeholders.
