Re: [libreoffice-design] Re-doing the installer

Yeah.

Unless I could somehow directly link it to call Windows Installer
directly and be able to get progress stuff from it, all that would do
is just be followed by the usual Windows Installer dialog. But this
way, you also wouldn't see it until you actually started the
installation.

My idea was to make this view be the "express" install, and an
"advanced" mode just launch a glitzed up version of the current one.
