I've had a go at putting the new installer together, i've tested it as far as possible but i need some people to help me test. It can be downloaded here.

-removed- while i fix it

This has only been tested on my machine so make sure you have a backup of your continuum install and registry.

The Installer was created with inno setup (use http://innounp.sourceforge.net/ to view the sources) the install script source is here http://flabby.tv/subspace/install_script.txt

Features of this installer:

- Comes with d1st0rts Starburst skin preloaded
- Custom Splash screen (this is crap, i have zero artistic skill i just lifted it off the skin, if someone has a better version link me up!)
- Automatic Profile Setup for new players (auto creates a name)
- Quickstart guide
- Includes Continuum 0.39pre1 and Continuum 0.38
- zone.dat preloaded with ALL SSC zones
- only 5mb (smaller than current installer + 0.39pre1 download)

Let me know what you think.

I dunno man, people are open to testing a lot of things but when it comes to Continuum as a client by itself... I gotta go with just the stuff Priitk lists.

Take a look at Nullsoft Scriptable Install System. It is a very clean installation software and very user friendly. I try to recommend this to everyone creating any installation package, as it would do you good here as well.

I tested it out. Very nice. No damage was done. I am running Windows XP Pro. Everything turned out smooth. Good job.
