NSIS and WinAPI
I tried to post before, but dont know if my post was deleted or never posted, since these forums unfortunately are extremely heavy to load on my 56k (weird though)

Ok, what I was trying to ask is, if NSIS is still developed with the plain win32 API, and what are the current plans for the upcoming longhorn, which will have a different API (winFX IIRC); any new stuff being done in CVS, or the dev team will continue to use the winAPI and havent thought of moving to something else like the new API or a cross platform toolkit or even C# or managed C++...
Just a tad curious thats all

Thanks for your time folks and I hope this gets posted this time...


A .NET Framwork based API will be added to Longhorn, but WinAPI will also be supported. There are no plans to convert the NSIS VM to another language. Using a managed language will add quite some extra overhead.
