Setup an installer tool and a Configuration UI #7

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
There is no installer tool for RuralCafe. This would help significantly in 
easing the setup for RuralCafe. As a part of the installer, some help with 
setting up the configuration file would be good.

We have a setup.exe under RuralCafe/publish. It works, but you cannot configure 
anything (path, desktop icon, startmenu, etc.). The files are put into a 
strange directory in the user APP_DATA. You can deinstall it the normal way you 
would deinstall other things, too.

Please have a look at my last two commits and the comments I wrote there.

To provide configuration I will design a window, so that the application 
manages it itself.

I hope you find this to be sufficient. If not, we will have to look for 
something else than the VS standard way. From what I read, they had cooler 
stuff before, but removed it for VS 2012. You have either to stick to this 
minimal solution, buy InstallShield (or use the Limited Edition), or do 
something on your own.

A SettingsForm has been added that is shown on each startup. This is probably 
not the nicest solution, but works for now.

Probably I will still look into adding an IWizard, so that new files (e.g. in 
TroTro) are automatically set to 'CopyIfNever' and not 'NeverCopy', which is 
kinda annoying, because you tend to forget this setting.

Could you look at the setup.exe and and the SettingsForm and tell me your 
opinion, Jay?
