[Interest] Qt Installer Framework

[Joshua Grauman]

Hi,

I just found out about the Qt Installer Framework and so downloaded and 
compiled it. On linking, I see it is trying to link to QFSFileEngine, 
which isn't in Qt5. Is a Qt5 version of qif planned? Does anyone have it 
working in Qt5? Thanks!

Josh

The problem is that i have one plugin renamed and when i simply install into that dir, old file is not rewritten/deleted and i get 2 copies of same plugin. I want to remove all contents of the directory i install to before writing new files. Is that possible?

I see code that searches in registry, but not in system variables...

Please note that by default spaces are not allowed inside the target path, you can overwrite the behavior by setting <AllowSpaceInPath>true</AllowSpaceInPath> in your config.xml.
