ODBC Snapshot Installer (for Dave Page)

Dave,
I have successfully created a ODBC installer and it looks almost identical
to the current MSI one.
I looked at the M$ stuff you mentioned and the learning curve is pretty
high.
I created this one with Inno Setup 5 and it only took a few minutes and is
much easier to use than MSI or that xml msi stuff

Like I said, I would be willing to take over creating the installer if you
don't mind switching to Inno Setup.

I could also do the setup for PGAdmin III :-)

The entire setup with source is available here:

Just to show how simple and easy Inno is to use, here is the entire setup
script:
