@malleor @maczekmaczek @themoob need beta testers!

1. Update to latest version (d411ded60411ead729409308e97b53cfd1b888dc),
2. to install/uninstall wizard:
   • run Calculation2D/utils/C2DPluginWizardSetup.vbs,
3. to use:
   • make sure you have a spare copy of the repo,
   • run VS 10.0, choose new 'C2DPlugin Project' from 'Visual C++'->'C2D'
   • provide name for the solution (uncheck create solution dir),
   • follow additional onscreen instructions,
4. please post reproducible bugs - those may be tough to pin down.

OK, I'm on it. @carasuca I'm going to prepare a few slides on the project for tomorrow. I was thinking to add a tutorial about the download and installation. You think it's a good idea or you'd rather put that into the instruction?

[maczekmaczek]

1. after successful installation/deinstallation of the wizard the vbs script asks again to uninstall/install the wizard. The last message box is unnecessary e. g.: Wizard not installed -> asks to install -> Wizard installed -> asks to uninstall (unnecessary) It does not ask after steps: Wizard installed -> asks to uninstall -> Wizard uninstalled -> asks to install (unnecessary) -> Wizard installed -> no further asking
2. When trying to create a new project with the wizard operation failed, output: Project creation failed. I was trying create it as a new solution as well as add it to the C2DPlugins.sln which seems logical to me.

@maczekmaczek Let's put instructions in the Wiki and a copy in README.md. Tutorial is the way to go, I'd say.

[maczekmaczek]

I'll make a brief installation instruction at wiki for tomorrow. Later we'll be able to develop it.

[carasuca]

Ok, test the wizard again and I'll do the wiki. Debug messages are for you guys so you can tell me where the bugz at. Installation is two-part (one for the wizard, one for the templates), so try again:

Every part will:

• check current status,
• ask for action,
• elevate privileges or finish,
• do stuff,
• provide status of the last op.

all this twice in a row. To install:

• read the message boxes,
• click install if not installed
• don't uninstall if installed

a total of two Yes/No questions have to be answered correctly :)

[maczekmaczek]

I've just started to create a wiki. I will make just a simple task list. You can develop it if you like :]

[carasuca]

ok, making host repo for wiki pretty pictures.

[malleor]

I've tested the wizard. Installation succeeded for both project template and wizard. Project type was on it's place (snapshot), but project creation failed as status bar said.

Strange thing though - the installer created a strange subtree for our C2D group. The 1033 group has a wizard called root. Is it really intended? Is it necessary?

[carasuca]

yep, that's because VS parses all the sub directories and finds a .vcxproj template. Will fix it.

[carasuca]

concerning the 'project creation failed' you can try this: assuming $(SolutionDir)='C:\Calculation2D' can you locate C:\Calculation2D\utils\C2DPluginWizard\C2DPluginWiz.vsz? using a text editor change:

Param="RELATIVE_PATH = VCWizards\C2D" to Param="ABSOLUTE_PATH = C:\Calculation2D\utils\C2DPluginWizard\C2DPluginWiz" (mutatis mutandis)

second guess would be to remove the signature block from the den of C2DPluginWizard\C2DPluginWiz\Scripts\1033\default.js

• which really creeps me out.

[carasuca]

should work now.
