Hasn't this been discussed before? Wasn't there a 'problem' with having to use
the original LDRAW download? Perhaps the license discussions are finished
soon, so we can make this 'one click installation'.
I use InstallShield Pro at work, and it's not very difficult to produce
complicated installations, setting .ini-files etc. etc. The problem is that it
is quite a pricey product, so I can't use it for hobby work.
The InstallShield Express which comes 'free' with Delphi is not enough for
this kind of installation.
There are a lot of free installers too, but I haven't tried them. They'll
probably do the job, though.

I 'hate' this kind of installation. Beeing on an expensive modem line (where
each dial up incurs an extra cost), I prefer downloading a large file in one
piece, or getting a friend with better net access download and make a CD. But
that's just me...
