Unified Installer v0.2

Pepi:
Thank you both!  English is not my language, so way I read it is different from way you wrote to me :)

You can make new installer and wrote : require at least 190.xx drivers for correct working :)

Merry Christmas to all!

They won't do a new installer with just the Cuda 2.3 dll's, as there are other issues to fix as well,
like the issue with loosing your Cuda 6.09 work when using the installer, because there's no 6.09 entries in the app_info,
and the problems with different platform tags, and loosing work because the platform's changed.
and that all takes time, to write, test, fix, test, then release.

quite right!, LoL, you should see the size/complexity of my practice app_infos for x64 platform, that need to migrate smoothly from stock OR previously optimised installations.  The other issue I've had feedback on, is that there are actually proprietary systems where <190.38 drivers are the 'certified' ones to use, with newer nVidia ones having issues on those systems.  In that case we'll need to keep both as options, with 2.2 as 'safe default' and 2.3 as optional.

Your installer ( or whatever wrote them) is perfect and good choice. But since 2.3 DLL make increase of about 30% and as I know all cards support that I was seen no reason for NOT updating installer to cuda 2.3
But since you are boss, I agree with your answer.
Thanks for reply

Not angry at all Pepi.  The questions that you asked were reasonable, so I prefer to answer them in the most complete way I can. 

Iif you are sure of the driver version you have, and the card can handle the extra workload without heat issues, There is no reason not to drop the DLL's over your installation, the next installer will have those DLL's as I described. 

As Al describes, foisting them on everyone is not an option, so the installer will need to be more complex to handle the option by informed choice.  This takes time.

Sorry if my explanations sound sometimes too direct or something, I seem to be getting a bit of that lately.

Merry Christmas.
