RE: Ev0 - Windows Live Messenger Evolved
the nature of the installer requires a server that is online constantly, is bandwidth an issue for you?

I must say, that is pretty nice. Too bad it doesn't fit with my desktop and my carefully chosen colours for my contact lists, which my display picture matches.

I might consider getting it because its really awesome, but I dont know.

I can host it on http://ihave.theweener.com :)

Bandwidth is not an issue

(I sent a PM also for SonicSam.net but just realised that the server sonicsam.net is on sucks :p)

But I have no problem hosting on ihave.theweener.com :p

RE: Ev0 - Windows Live Messenger Evolved
I love you guys. Now I need some input... I have three options for the installer, and I'm starting to feel really worried about all of them.

Option A: I have a "dummy" installer that the user uses to select what skin colour he wants and then the installer downloads the content from one server and the installs it.

Option B: I bundle all the skin colour choices along with the installer and end up with an installer that is about 30 MB.

Option C: The one that I really don't want to do; make a separate installer for each and every skin choice, coming to a nice list of 16 installers :O.

I like this idea :).

I like this one aswell as it seems more convenient, though the filesize may be an issue for someone who has slow internet or just wants a specific colour.

I think you should go with Option A but remember to put a screenshot of each colour in the Dummy File :p Have a "View Screenshot" for every colour that will then load the image from a hosted site :)

Option C is the suck :p

Remember to look into torrent solutions like we talked about on WLM :P

why not take all 16 patches, extract all the data that is the same between them, and bundle the installer with 17 (the base patch and 16 supplementary patches) smaller patches?
