previous or next page one needs the navigation links at

The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat jury-rigged fashion. It has the following prerequisites, at least as I build it: Python for Windows http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/python-2.4.1.msi MinGW http://www.mingw.org/ Python for Windows Extensions http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ mfc71.dll (just download, don't install) http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/ The py2exe distutils extension http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/ Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ISTool http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/ And, of course, Mercurial itself. Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo C:\hg\hg-release. In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program: python setup.py build -c mingw32 py2exe -b 1 Copy mfc71.dll into the dist directory that just got created. Run ISTool, and open the C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\win32\mercurial.iss file. In ISTool, type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file. The actual installer will be in the C:\hg\hg-release\Output directory.
