I've always been a bit annoyed by *.zip files so I decided to make Windows installers for Minetest. Also for less computer-oriented people it should be more convenient to install and uninstall.
Today I made the installer for 0.3.1: http://www.mediafire.com/?0iimvmn8m8l9iac
I'll make an installer for the current 0.4 release soon.
The installer puts Minetest into your Program Files directory, adds shortcuts to the Start Menu, and adds a desktop icon.
I really need a 32x32 icon to go with the installer, because at the moment it's just a generic boring icon.

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Use the Minetest site logo:

(You'll need to scale it down of course)

That's what I tried, but the program I was using still wouldn't accept it.

My image and media server is back online and is functioning as normal.
Unlike some other modern OS's that'll take anything from jpg to png to svg for an icon ;)

+1'd, heh. You can convert images to .ico files using GIMP.
Also: I dislike installers, mainly because of occasional issues (such as permission errors).

I didn't know SVG worked...
*tries it*
And whaddya know... is does work.
Signature antivirus (Linux only): "grep -iv -- Signature\ virus" (minus the quotes, of course)
Signature goes in stdin, viruses are removed, and cleaned signature comes out on stdout.

However, this hurts performance if you're viewing a lot of SVG files in a file manager, on slow computers.
