[Qt-interest] Creating Installer for Qt 4.6.0

[Michael Jackson]

I have brought this up a while ago, but I just wanted to revisit it again
with some new information, at least to me.
 The problem is that I use Qt compiled with Visual Studio and I would like
to distribute my build of Qt to my customers with my code, as my customers
further develop the code after I hand it off. For some, getting Qt compiled
and in the proper location isn't the easiest thing in the world and they
would prefer some sort of installer. Grepping through the source code for Qt
I see sources to package up a MinGW based Qt build but nothing for the
Visual Studion Builds.

 I came across this website:
 <http://code.google.com/p/qt-msvc-installer/>  where they authors have this
note:

"Now for 4.6.0, Nokia went ahead and provided an installer for MSVC 2008
binaries of Qt LGPL. Is this project still valuable? I would like to hear
your thoughts (email me at gabe.rudy at gmail.com). Compared to the official
Nokia build, the real main advantage of this project is providing pre-built
binaries for 64-bit windows and builds without Qt3."

 I found the Visual Studio 2008 download for OpenSource. What _exact_
version of Visual Studio was that compiled with? As some may know there are
"issues" with some of the security updates for VS and the redistributable VS
libraries.

  Do I still need a commercial license to get the code to create the same
type of installer as Nokia but for an x64 build? Or a build with Visual
Studio 2005?

  Should I just use the project from the above link?

Thanks for any thoughts
