I am not really clear about 'standard' and 'dynamic' installer terms here.
If you have played around with the installer of theWord you already probably know that you can tweak it to be dynamic (e.g. you can create your own interface, create an install.ini file and then invoke it with the modules you want and will run with those).

The only thing you cannot do is to distribute the actual esv.ontx.exe file, the end users will need to download them from the site here.

Does that mean that ESV2011.ontx.exe is allowed to be distributed? If so then that is awesome. I have been trying to figure out the best way to include one of the ESV's in our custom USB stick / USB Installer, and potential CD installer. I only found theWord about 2 weeks ago, and I love it as a family Bible library. I am creating a Welcome Screen, and front end installer for exactly this reason. I am grateful for all of your hard work, and hope to someday be able to contribute to this amazing software in some way. You have made a great program, and I am looking forward to seeing where it goes in the future.

Just discovered something that I missed in my initial reading of the license. You will be getting an E-mail from me in the next couple of days with a request for distribution permission for the 2 media types we will be giving away. I have to put a CD cover together, and a 2 sided USB drive image set first.

Unfortunately the ESV and ESV2011 cannot be re-distributed, sorry. Almost everything else is OK
