I am seriously considering writing a program in Euphoria that can install a program on Windows, add it to the Start Menu, Desktop, and Taskbar, and add whatever registry entries are necessary. I would use FluidAE for the GUI. It would be nice if programs written in Euphoria didn't have to depend on non-Euphoria installation tools. What do you all think? What would it take to get this working? If anyone has any useful bits of code, I would happy to incorporate them into the project.
I've thought about doing this sort of thing, but right now, I'm not in favor of it. On Windows, I think that WiX is the right way to go. I've played around with it a bit, and it's not too difficult to use, at least for relatively simple installations.
