Hi all.

I'm getting to the stage that I need some beta testers for my game, and it occurred to me that I need some decent way for them to get access to it. To that end, I've written a fairly simple installer which does the job. So two things:

1) Would anyone mind testing this for me? It will download the game, which is about 44 meg.

2) would anyone else be interested in this? If so, I'll happily upload it with a UI builder. It works off of scripts so can do quite a lot, but so far:
*can extract files from a packed file to any specified location (auto reads windows program files location)
*can also download the pack file (as this one does), then extract
*can be set to just download all the files and skip the pack file
*can download from ftp or http (this one is http)
*can create a shortcut to the installed program and set any icon for this that you wish to download
*stores the install path in a .ini file in the appdata folder for the user - this will later used to auto uninstall on a second run, or for a launched I am coding to know where to install updates - I'll upload this too if anyone wants it
*All the messages displayed are user definable and can be left blank for default messages

Is this something that anyone else might want to use? The only major limitation it has is that it's DBPro so without the relevant DX install it will fail, and it must be run as administrator if you want to install to the Program Files folder.
