Re: [xwiki-users] Feedback regarding the XWiki Enterprise 3.5 and 4.0-RC-1 Windows EXE Installer on Windows 7

The Windows installer is using an older version of http://izpack.org/ which probably doesn't work too well with newer versions of Windows.

We talked about upgrading to the latest version of http://izpack.org/ but we didn't have the time to do it. If you or anyone else if willing to do this it would be great.
