 Compiling

Reading the docs...

Windows - Compiling for the general Windows OS will first request that you choose between creating an Installer or a Zip package, where the installer will be a single executable that will install your game, and the Zip file will be a single zip format compressed file with all your game files stored within (the files will need extracted for the game to run).

Thanks for allowing us to choose to remember the packaging option. I'd asked for this earlier this year, and based on the response I got, I didn't think we'd see it :)

@Mike had given me a few reasons why NSIS was the preferred build option for Windows. Has this changed?

Nope.... but things are easier to allow user config/selection in 2.

Same warning though.... the NSIS will install everything you need. Zip won't.
