=== Installer ===

As Kiwix runs well (at least should) as portable version, installers are not mandatory. But If you want to provide all users on a computer, a well integrated software solution and maybe also benefit von the system upgrades, managments tools, etc... This is better to install it.

For Windows, we have an installer which is not bad. This is a binary done with the help of NSIS. This bbinary is able to install kiwix and custom content. The installer is like a sophisticated copier, it just copy files from specific directories where the software and the content are to the target directory. The installer works on a portable version of Kiwix and you simply need to but the content you want in the "data" directory and this will be installed. To make it short, you do not need to rebuild an installer for each type of content.
