Simplest install: dokanfuse1.dll not found #89

Environment

Description

Hi.

I used the encfs-installer.exe v1.10.1-RC12 but during installation I checked off all options but encfs, because I want a barebones local install of encfs to carry in a portable disk, which I carry with me.

While running encfs.exe I get the error "The code execution cannot proceed because dokanfuse1.dll was not found (...)".

After searching the issue tracker, I saw the issue where it's claimed that the dependency on Dokan is required always. Therefore, if it's a hard dependency, the installer should not give the option NOT to install Dokan.

Expected behavior vs. actual behavior

...

Steps to reproduce problem

  1. install without dokan
  2. run encfs

What if you have Dokan/Dokany already installed? You shouldn't be forced to install it, then.

Don't know every well how to solve that. Perhaps detect during the installation process and warn the user in case it's not installed ?

That was the original reason for making it optional, since Dokany is used for many different projects and not only encfs4win, so there's a good chance it (and maybe a different version) might already be installed.

We can either try to detect if it is already installed and make it required if not, or add a note to the installer mentioning that it is required if not already installed.

Feel free to solve as you see fit. Thank you for your time.
