The document is only at the start dealing with the installer, once it is installed the main part concerns configuration stuff for the CVSNT server, so InnoSetup is not really a major issue here. I could probably do the screenshot change given some spare time (scarce these days). But I have a problem with the WIKI; once upon a time I tried to actually write and update a few pages (I did the migration page from Linux to Windows for example). But I never got on good terms with the WIKI editor so I preferred to hand-code HTML on my own website instead. If you could get me FTP access to the CVSNT server I could upload the description pages there instead. But updating to the WIKI format and using the browser interface to build it is not for me, I think. It makes sense that these documents are really hosted on cvsnt.org rather than my cryptic telia address (which also might disappear if I change ISP). HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
