Zope on CD with Windows Installer

This tool gives you the option to control (while hiding) the start process. It is also an uninstaller and highly customisable.

Project Description

Zope / Plone runs from a CD-ROM as a Windows Application, but the starting process takes some time and an ugly DOS-Window will appear. Later you have to shut down the DOS-Window to stop the Zopeserver. A solution to accelerate the process is to copy all files to the local hard disc, but what about the DOS-Window and the Zopeserver?

It is much nicer to have an installer that handles (and hides) all the process like any other windows programs do. And what about the option to choose whether to install the application as a "windows program" to your hard disc or to start it from CD-ROM?

This tool gives the user these options and controls (while hiding) the start process. (Obvious: For an installation you will need the windows administrations rights.)

The tool is also an uninstaller and is highly customisable: You can change the icon and all the text dialogues and the buttons. This means you can change the English text to any language and put your name and icon on it!

There is an XML file that contains all the data and soon we will release a small Windows-Tools to edit this file easily. But meanwhile you can use any text-editor ...
