This sound sort of crazy, but why not just wrap an nsis installer around
your 1.9.12 build?


If you know how, please do. But it's the wrong way forward. What's the advantage of installing jack globally? If all jack programs provide jack themselves, the user can easily choose which version of jack to run, just by starting qjackctl (or a similar program) compiled for the version of jack you want to use.
