I've uploaded a q/d prototype EasyEnglishSetup.exe, built with the =
nsis-198 freeware installer. It bundles the 10 files that were in the =
self-extracting ee230.zip. It increased in size from 577kb to about =
630kb, reflecting nsis overhead. It has provisions for:

* choice of installation directory (default C:\Program =
Files\EasyEnglish)
* stub for license and readme (if needed)
* uninstall
* desktop icon and Start Menu entry (if needed)
* launches readme230.doc upon completion of installation

I would think a VBA wizard could tweak readme230.doc with something like =
an on-load macro, and the setup would be pretty much done. My impression =
is that vba can distinquish between Word-97, Word-2000, Word-XP, and =
proceed accordingly.

The installer prototype is available at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/InVerse/files/Prototype/EeSetup.exe
or
http://inverse.sourceforge.net/prototypes/EeSetup.exe

The associated nsis script is at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/InVerse/files/Prototype/EasyEnglishSetup.ns=
i/
or
http://inverse.sourceforge.net/prototypes/EasyEnglishSetup.nsi

BTW, is there a "point of contact" for more information? Someone with =
Wycliffe? Another list e-mail had a name, but no e-mail address. I had a =
question whether the tedious (and error-prone) option setup was a =
one-time task, or had to be done for every document that was processed =
with EasyEnglish. I think there was also a minor error in one filename.
