IIS Build Available?

[xeroiv]

Is it possible to release a package to setup on a windows server running IIS? Instructions on setting up the dependencies for windows were are clear in the wiki. npm run build gives an error when executed.

Hmm I'm not too sure about building the UI on Windows but if you just grab the bundle.js file from the release that will be the already built JS file you need for the UI.

I'm hoping I can test a Windows build this weekend, the application itself runs a webserver so you could just setup IIS to reverse proxy the connection as the docker container does with Nginx.

I copied the bundle.js to the directory and it worked for the front end. There appears to be a difference in the file structure for a Linux factorio install vs Windows factorio install. In windows the default directory for install is "c:/program files/factorio". This directory has the bin and data structures but the save file directory / config directory / mod directory are just shortcuts to the roaming profile folder. This leads to a problem when trying to start the factorio-server-manager. It looks for the bin files in the program files directory but it fails to find the save files or mods. I corrected this by manually moving the bin and data structure to the same root directory that the save files are stored in. I was able to use the start server button but the terminal log shows that the server does not start due to an error.

It appears that the 0.13.2 factorio start-server command bug still exists in the way that you need to pass the entire save file path as an argument otherwise the server start script looks in the active directory of the terminal. So despite the factorio server failing to start the web-interface of factorio-server-manager shows the status as started. Clicking the stop-server button produces an invalid argument error.

Fixed in https://github.com/MajorMJR/factorio-server-manager/pull/35

Thanks @xeroiv

#35 only fixes the savefile startup issue. It does not address the default windows factorio installation directory structure difference from the linux headless version. The windows factorio install has different root folders for the binaries vs the savefile/configuration/mod directory.
