I looked at the ReactOS website and noticed that you guys are having problems getting an installer written for an ext2 driver for Windows XP? I would be happy to write an NSIS-based installer for the ext2 driver, if either someone could compile the driver for me, or tell me where the driver is in the ReactOS tree so I can build it myself and create an installer for it. I have written NSIS installers before, some that have advanced functionalities using Component Manager and ExperienceUI. Please let me know if you guys would like me to make this installer....
Don't use NSIS or other similar tools - the only working installer is MSI (WiX). NSIS has some issues with Vista and can't be installed trough Software distribution on Windows Domains.

Why do we need an installer for this driver, it should be installed with all the other drivers in setup. Or are you talking about 3rd party usage?

Its meant for testing purposes on XP and newer Windows OSes. We need to try if it works correctly and some not so low level skilled cant install it manually.
If it's just for testing, just copy the driver and add the service keys. Or grab a copy of OSR's Driver Loader and use that to register it.

3rd party usage is also good, I'd appreciate if a decent installer could be made for it.

Hi, IMO it's a bad idea to create an ext2 driver installer, and to distribute it for some reasons. First, there are some other ext2 drivers that are more efficient than our one (like ext2fsd - http://www.ext2fsd.com - or ext2 IFS - http://www.fs-driver.org -). Then, our driver has been tested but a while ago, and many informations about the context and the results are missing. Finally, for now driver is breaking when starting in ROS and if ROS and Windows are really near, it will be the same under Windows. And breaking without any connected debugger, leads to bugcheck and the system becomes unusable. And keep in mind that IFS are not a game: they can damage system AND data.

Our ext2 driver works under windows (or at least used to). It comes from such a 3rd party project.
