(original) (raw)

Hi all,

I am looking into an issue associated with the wininst-\*.exe files in the distutils/command subdirectory. It looks like these are the executable stubs used to create self-extracting zips for installation - but I am not 100% sure. It also looks like they include the calls to standard Windows functions to display the installer window.

I have a couple questions I need help with:

1) Am I correct about the function, and if not, what are they?

2) Where did these come from, and where is their source code?

Thanks,

Van
