Build MSI Installer for Python project (PythonTurtle, open source project)

[bittner]

<disclaimer>(Sorry if this is slightly off-topic.)</disclaimer>

I speak for a free and open source project called "​PythonTurtle". We need to build a MSI installer to ship the PythonTurtle learning environment on Windows. We're looking for a volunteer who wants to contribute a simple thing, a MSI installer configuration.​

Your task would be simple:

• Create a Visual Studio Project configuration that builds a MSI installer
• Details on GitHub: Build installer packages automatically PythonTurtle/PythonTurtle#107 (comment)

Note: The Python program already builds automatically (on AppVeyor), only the Visual Studio Project configuration is missing. That would be your task. Easy, right?

If you're looking for a chance to get involved with a well-known open source project on GitHub this is your chance! Get in touch at ​PythonTurtle/PythonTurtle#107.

Cheers, Peter

No luck in finding a volunteer for a pure Microsoft-based solution.

We're now looking for someone with experience creating a MSI installer with WiX, or WiX.Py. Please get in touch via PythonTurtle/PythonTurtle#108 (comment).

Closing the ticket here, as this will not be AppVeyor specific anymore.
