Windows Installer Package NVDEC/MSDK

[McNamara, Steve]

Thanks for the quick response and the heads up on the redistribution issues.

I'll look at grabbing the code for the plugins directly and building it on top of the devel installer.

At least in the past these SDKs disallowed redistribution, that's why the plugins are not included and that's something for NVIDIA and Intel to fix.

You can build both plugins individually based on the binaries provided by the installers.
