ok continuing what we started there.
As i mentioned the app is Java (which is sweet), but the problem is its wrapped in an EXE file. And then wrapped again in MSI file.
The purpose is to make it easy for Windows users to get it running quickly.
I dont know if its possible for them to distribute another install package, without the EXE thing. Since its Java the only thing we will need is a JAR file!!
But anyway, i didnt try this yet since im on my PC in work. I think Wine could solve the problem. Install it and then run the "pre-registration.exe" file inside it.
