To generate an installer package, you need +a build tree. By default, the build tree root directory +is assumed to be in "../..". This location can be changed +by adding a file config.py; see the beginning of msi.py +for additional customization options. + +The packaging process assumes that binaries have been +generated according to the instructions in PCBuild/README.txt, +and that you have either Visual Studio or the Platform SDK +installed. In addition, you need the Python COM extensions, +either from PythonWin, or from ActivePython. + +To invoke the script, open a cmd.exe window which has +cabarc.exe in its PATH (e.g. "Visual Studio .NET 2003 +Command Prompt"). Then invoke + + msi.py + +If everything succeeds, pythonX.Y.Z.msi is generated +in the current directory. +
