Installer gives no notification #15

Closed 26labs closed 6 years ago

26labs commented 7 years ago

Downloaded the msi installer. When it runs there is no visual feedback. Suggest to add a "Install Done" message box.

I don't think I have control over this unless I switch to an .EXE installer. I'll look into it. Do you know of any other applications distributed in an .MSI that offer a notification upon installation completion?

I have considered bundling SQL Notebook as an .appx so that it can go onto the Windows Store, but it's possible it may not satisfy the requirements for Store applications.

I cannot think of any right now. Perhaps a simple system notification would be ok(to keep current approach), or the EXE can complete wth a messagebox Saying its finished?

I had the same issue. Since you are using Wix to create the SQLNotebook.msi installer you should consider using the one of the Wizards that comes with Wix e.g. <UIRef Id="WixUI_Minimal" />.

Hi Jamleck, thanks for the tip. Looks pretty straightforward. I will look into doing that.
