Once again, hello crew, I've managed to grab the latest version of **** NFO Viewer, the released version on here a while ago was v2.10.0031

This one's v2.10.0032RC3... I've repackaged it as an msi for silent install and left it pretty much the same as the Spoon Installer version that's floating around on the net..
(all the fancy pics and all)

So, ladies and germs, here it is for grabs:

Why do you need an NFO reader when you get the same thing with Notepad?

That's what I've always said too. What's the big deal about NFOs in the first place? A simple readme.txt is perfectly fine. I don't why all these dumbass groups need to get fancy with it.

Notepad does not show the ACSII Art.
but you can use "type path\file.nfo" to show the ascii art and you don't need an external tool.

there's some info on the thread "registering file extensions unattended" smile.gif

I know guys, I know, however there ARE some people out there who want to use **** NFO viewer, and I figured I'd create an msi to allow for unattended setup (not REALLY needed), but some like msi's, like myself newwink.gif

You can set the font in Notepad to "Terminal" to see the ASCII Art a bit clearer.
Lucida Console is the default font.

Yep **** is better than notepad when it comes to nfo files. I also posted an msi installer several times.

I used InstallShield X Express for building my **** msi. It is not that complicated, because it is just a small software.

It is easier if you use Inno for small applications like this.
