Summary: InnoSetup: include Asio4all as option

Initial Comment:
We should include the Asio4All installer as an option in the install process, many other applications are doing that now, i'd propose to install by default.  It provides a much much better user experience than pd on WME drivers

It looks like InnoSetup might not have a download-and-install feature. 
But it would be easy enough to launch the ASIO4ALL page at the end of the
installer.  But I don't think it can be included, it would be the only
exception.

As for NSIS vs. InnoSetup, if you are willing to take over active
maintainership of the Windows installer, then you can use whatever you want
:D (provided it's free, which NSIS is, right?)

so the InnoSetup files themselves are GPL'd ?  How many people actually
authored them? If its just you, would you consider adding a license
exception to allow ASIO4ALL? 

I know nothing about Inno unfortunately, if this were in NSIS i could hack
away at it as (sadly) i've become quite an NSIS expert.

Sounds very cool.  The ASIO4ALL license prevents it from being embedded in
the Windows package itself, (everything must be GPLv2 compatible
currently).  But I think it would be feasible to make the installer
download the package separately, in which case there would be no problem
with licenses.
