Hello,

I have two new Ideas.

1. We providing a "netinstaller". With defaults option it will get
x2goclient and Xming from net. There is "advanced>>" button in installer
dialog, which opening for user advanced options. Advanced options are:
"get vcxsrv instead of xming" and "not download Xserver".

2. We providing 3 nsis-installers: x2goclient+xming, x2goclient+vcxsrv,
x2goclient without Xserver. The first installer is default and it is
easy to found on download page. The two other installers are hidden
under link "other downloads" or "experimental" or "name is not
important, you understand what I mean".


I would prefer second choice, because for large installations (I think
John have such one) is easier to provide a direct url to installer or
installer itself then by every installation configure installer to get
vcxsrv. There are less chances, that user make something wrong if he
just clicks with his mouse without understanding what he making. And is
easier to us (we don't need to create "net installer")
