I hope I am not repeating old information (I did browse the archives quickly) but for installing on Windows I find that the free version of Advanced Installer by Calyphon (http://www.advancedinstaller.com) works great.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried Advanced Installer and I didn't see an obvious way of integrating it in an automatic build process (is there a CLI?). Anyway, on Windows I have chosen NSIS and on MacOS X I use PackageMaker. For PackageMaker, which doesn't include an uninstaller, the installer will install a "gambc- uninstall" script in the PATH which will clean things up.
I know there are other options, but this should be sufficient until someone implements something better. It will be easy to experiment with new installers in the next release of Gambit which includes the automatic packaging scripts.
I would love to add scripts for automatically creating packages for Debian, Gentoo, MacPorts, etc. Can someone look into this?
