Hi,

I missed to introduce a concept of the package manager

are not a Archive file with an instruction for installing like apt

running the setup with a special parameter or downloading an arrive
file with the binaries. That is a little bit of BSD ports or Gentoo Emerge.
This is why I think MSI files aren't the right think to replace the
basic based scripts, that are used at the moment. It simply not what
they have been made for. But if the vendor of the application provides a
msi file of cause it can be used; with a "msi"-script-command.
I think the idea of a central repository containting information on Free(Open) Win32 is a
good
idea.
Thanks
