Hi,

some month ago there was work done to get a kde installer for win32.

The idea is to have a qt command line and/or gui application, which 
makes it possible to download and install

- gnuwin32 and/or win32libs related packages
- kde binary and source packages
- packages from other sources


The design allows to use different download types (for example from a 
sourceforge project or other locations reachable by http) and/or 
different download mirrors.

The command line tool works currently well for gnuwin32 related 
packages. Adding additional installer for example to install 7zip 
packages from the win32libs download area is very easy. Using an 
different download strategy is also easy.

The gui installer is in a very early state and not functional.

The sources could inspected on using

Happy hacking

Ralf
