Mods and Customization

If I understood correctly... You can skip downloading unwanted files if it's a torrent, I won't zip it so people can select stuff they want.

I think he meant for the final installer. I had the idea of a single .msi file in mind. I want it to be modular, but the more complex the installer, the more likely it will require expensive software to create.

I initially used a program called "Advanced Installer". It's pro version is pretty expensive, and it's free version is feature-limited. I cannot recall all the details right now as it has been well over a year since I last used it.

Here's an idea: Maybe we could just make a script that will pull files off an FTP server? Seems like a good idea to me. Then it really wouldn't download anything you don't want.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood.

Well, I meant that if I don't want to dl 4g of skins just to get the stuff I do want, that would be nice.

Quite good with NSIS, I might find something that I can do.

I'm not sure if NSISdl plugin would work though, but I'll search.

EDIT: I can do it in NSIS, my one problem is I don't know where to download skins.

Yes,

I don't even bother with skins.

I do have a install package (for a CD) I made, but it includes vanilla software and no extra plugins.  (but you can always add them)
