If Chrome Frame is necessary for you, why not continue it as a separate open source project? Google has already helped you massively, it's not their job to mana

  Because they made it nearly impossible by only releasing half the code, not releasing any installer build, and only releasing parts of the build system.

    All of the code necessary to build a working Chrome Frame and an installer binary is present in the open source repository. The code for the MSI isn't there, but that's just a very thin wrapper around the Chrome Frame and Google Update exe installers.

      Yup it certainly is... too bad that the build is not usable without extensive knowledge of how to integrate it into IE. Something which a very limited subset of people know.

      If you've got a copy of the MSI already, run it against Dark (the WiX decompiler) and you'll be pretty much handled a copy of the MSI source. Obviously you'll have some cleanup work, but it's a hell of a start. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/dark.htm http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/dark.htm
