Windows - installer #30

Open maurizioandreotti opened 4 years ago

maurizioandreotti commented 4 years ago

create windows installer vs the rar file?

yo2loj commented 4 years ago

Not a bad idea, but is it really needed?...

yo2loj commented 4 years ago

BTW, maybe zip is a better option. Windows can unpack zip files by default, rar needs an 3rd party program.

long story about zip...

Not a bad idea, but is it really needed?...

maybe not, and could keep the users "less aware" ... let's keep this for later

If there was a proper installer, all of this "which version of this .dll do you have" and "oh, you're missing this LZH file", etc. all goes away. Yes, running a program by just decompressing and running it is easy but is running an installer really that hard?

Sounds nice, I fear that it (the installer) will become another piece to take care

Btw could you provide one?

Sorry, I generally don't do Windows so I don't have much to offer here. There are various open source installers out there for Windows but I'm sure they aren't all equal in terms of support, features, etc. Sorry I can't be more help here.
