wine? shouldn't that only be needed to *test* the installer?
You're right. I could have built makensis (the compiler) on Linux. It seemed easier to me to download their pre-compiled Windows package.
# apt-get install nsis
If you're going to cross-compile Pd for Windows the Miller way, it's likely you have installed Wine anyway. That is the setup I had in mind.
ah, i see.
Thanks for sharing those experiences! I haven't tried myself to create an installer with a Linux build of makensis and your experiences do not exactly sound encouraging. I tested the resulting installer under Wine, Windows XP (VirtualBox) and Windows 7 (VirtualBox). I didn't run into the problems you described, but of course I wasn't testing much other software after installing. This kind of issues is really hard to test for preemptively.
yes, of course: this was the main reason i ran into it. back then, i did test the installer/uninstaller on a *real* windows host (as opposed to a throw-away virtual machine), and didn't catch any problems: mainly because i wouldn't even think of installing "Outlook" on anything (nor actually *use* the w32 installation)
