--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
@Jay,

The problem would be in maintaining this diverse set of installers. MSI based
installers are monolithic by design--we're lucky to have Andras Timar willing
to maintain the Windows packaging for our VS build scripts.

Frankly, I don't have any issues with current packaging of Windows installers
and offline help packs. The size of the installer is the price of
admission--and, we distribute via ISO for DVD and in portable versions for
those bandwidth constrained.

Suspect to get any traction on this, TDF would need to hire a FTE release
engineer to specialize in Windows installer packaging--probably WiX based and
move away from MS Visual Studio based packaging-- to be able to support the
more granular packaging you are suggesting.
