(Stimulated by bug 176787 comments 2 and 4) My ultimate end goal for installer portion of EPP is to improve the end user experience during initial installation of Eclipse regardless of what technology and code is used. We need a short term solution for Europa and a long term solution which may or may not be the same. For the Europa time frame, is there another technology that we can implement on Windows (I'm just focused on Windows for now) that is compatible with the Eclipse EPL license? If yes, then what is that technology and who will implement for Europa?
> is there another technology that we can implement on Windows Hmm, I point to other installer not means you should use these tools, I think I mention "standard" several times in bug 176787 comments 2 and 4, since your installer use Wizard 97 style: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738248.aspx there have very clear UI guide. If you create a installer like this: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ExperienceUI then I surely understand why you ask for end user experience. but you using classic style, you should simply stick to the "standard", that is the end user experience...
Moving to 'later' - maybe someone comes up with a new EPL compatible way of doing this in the future.
Closing this bug as WONTFIX. The installer is not supported any more and the code has been moved to http://git.eclipse.org/c/epp/org.eclipse.epp.old.git/
