Hi,
I've tested the Papyrus-RT Installer on Windows, and the self-extracting archive. Works really well! Now when you don't have first unzip and then (manually) trying to locate the unzipped executable (which in practice makes it even easier to install than using the RCP, especially when you also get the icon/short-cut created on the desktop created automatically).
Regarding the issue with (currently) not being able to install, i.e. the old 0.7.x releases, is due to a regression of the setup file. When the EGit/EMF Compare features was added to the setup file (rather long time after 0.7.2 was released), the related p2 repos (with the custom builds) was not added to the setup file. So the setup file for the old 0.7.x releases seem to have been broken for quite some time.
And now with the self-extracting installer, I am not sure how to test the actual installation of 0.8 (currently only available in the pending Gerrit chagne), since the manual redirection of the index that I made earlier is a bit more tricky with the self-extractor.
Should we introduce some staging version of the setup file (published on the web site), and I guess the installer itself, to be able to test this a bit more as "real" as possible, before the actual release? Or is that just a waste?
