I was going to put Stefan Krueger's entire list but it looked rather long and I only wanted to add a tool if it had a reasonible expectation of being voted for.Christopher Painterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12167478740431444267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985159635193633235.post-53540467744331471012008-01-28T04:43:00.000-08:002008-01-28T04:43:00.000-08:00HI,I think that there is a "mess" in the...HI,<br><br>I think that there is a "mess" in the voting numbers.

It adds up to 150% ( atleast right now it does ) so I'm guessing that means on average people select 1 1/2 tools.Christopher Painterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12167478740431444267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985159635193633235.post-76054147836654306492008-01-29T03:45:00.000-08:002008-01-29T03:45:00.000-08:00The percentage indicates which fraction of all vot...The percentage indicates which fraction of all voters are using the particualr tool. For example, there are currently 34 votes. 12 of 34 (= 35%) selected SDK, 5 of 34 (= 14%) selected VS, etc.<br><br>I expect a significant overap in the following areas: <br>- Many people will use Orca, in addition to some real authoring tool, so they also vote for SDK.<br>- Many WiX users will use it's Visual Studio intergration, so they might vote for both. Other tools also provide Visual Studio integration.<br><br>I agree that there should be an option "other tool", and maybe also an option for repackaging tools.Stefan Kruegerwww.installsite.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985159635193633235.post-12082316438640872352008-01-29T12:15:00.000-08:002008-01-29T12:15:00.000-08:00Sorry, I was wrong.
