(beta 4 bug) minor- install maker exports wrong extension

When using the packager tool to make an installer, it saves the file as install.nsi instead of install.msi

.NSI is the extension for the Nullsoft installer script.

.MSI is the extension for the Microsoft installer package.

Those are two unrelated things file extensions.

The actual installer should be a .EXE (Nullsoft uses the .NSI to generate it).

Should be true. Isn't tho. If the file extension is renamed to msi it installs great. By the way, before I forget again...Thankyou.. for making the installer. It's awesome. :-)

Hey, glad you are enjoying it. It should be spitting out a .exe installer to <Torque 3D install dir>/Packaging/Output/Project/Project.exe

Project being your project name.

Confirmed as fixed for 1.1 Beta2.
