Question

I was wondering if any efforts have been made to create MSI files from rpm spec files or if there are any good ports of RPM to Windows.

Was it helpful?

Solution

If all you want is a cross platform way to lay down files and perform some actions, take a look at NSIS.

OTHER TIPS

MSI is an entirely different architecture and way of thinking to RPM, so I'll ask the obvious question - why?

maybe it's possible to convert deb in Cygwin package ? setup.hint is not so different than controle file from a debian package !

developement in progress ...

RPM was built for *Nix systems. Not windows.
