You can make an install package (rw1062.exe) in the current Windows style by using the installer kit Inno Setup 3.0.x, x >= 6 from jrsoftware.org. (Inno Setup 2.0.x, x >= 17 will also work if MkRules is edited correctly.) You need the R installation built completely (see ../INSTALL: this includes making bitmap and Tcl/Tk support and the manuals). It's worthwhile testing it too! Go to the parent of this directory and make the distribution zip files and the recommended packages by make distribution make recommended Then edit ISDIR and IS_VERSION in ../MkRules and run make make clean You will have rw1062.exe and a set of files miniR* for the floppy-sized distribution.
