SheepShaver Windows Port - Installer

I'm wondering if anyone here thinks over time it might be a nice addition to create an installer for Windows users to completely setup SheepShaver.

I am most likely going to create on for testing purposes, but at the moment the SDL.dll file is giving errors, and before an installer can be made, a SDL.dll file that works on any machine without being recompiled otherwise it defeats any installer ability since a user still has to recompile files.

Anyone have good sucsess at creating a SDL file that works on other machines?

If I didn't have a final exam next week, I'd be busy creating a GUI configuration manager and an installer. No doubt someone else will whip ones up before I can. :wink:

I just saw that it's working now with the latest point release, so I'm going to work on in installer right away.

Ok, the good news is that I have started on an installer. Unlike Basilisk II, it's not going to be 100% click and run since the user will need to provide certian items such as ROM files, configuration files etc.

I'm going on vacation this week and I'm taking my laptop with me so by the time I get back we should have something ready for download. (I hope) ;-)
