+# The created installer executes the following steps:
+# 1. install geth for all users
+# 2. install optional development tools such as abigen
+# 3. create an uninstaller
+# 4. configures the Windows firewall for geth
+# 5. create geth, attach and uninstall start menu entries
+# 6. configures the registry that allows Windows to manage the package through its platform tools
+# 7. adds the environment system wide variable ETHEREUM_SOCKET
+# 8. adds the install directory to %PATH%
+#
+# Requirements:
+# - NSIS, http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page
+# - SFP, http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSIS_Simple_Firewall_Plugin (put dll in NSIS\Plugins\x86-ansi)
