Currently my intended targets are Windows / Linux / OS X desktop systems. Does anyone have any recommendations on installation builders that can work well with an Ada-based software? > If all that is being distributed is the .exe (or equivalent for other platforms) "installation builders" shouldn't care what the software was built from... OTOH: unless you are using $$$$ GNAT-Pro, the license on GNAT doesn't permit closed-source distribution of applications. This may not be a problem if you mean you are using a non-AdaCore GCC with Ada. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
