appveyor test installs #5

Possible to execute the built setup.exe file on Appveyor to test installs across Win platforms?

texhex commented 7 years ago

Well, we could execute it on the VM we have used to build it but what should we check? That the files are correctly installed is ensured by the installer itself, as we use hash values. So I'm a little bit puzzled what we could test.

Win 7, 8, 10

XP ;)

That the tool works across Win versions

I think your find of the Font Validator and adding this as a part of the AppVeyor script (see #6) makes more sense to me.

XP is already EOL, Windows 7 is only running on Pre-Kaby Lake platforms, 8 is a mess to work with and Windows 10 should be fully compatible with the Server 2016 VMs AppVeyor is using (see Build Environment. I think we have all (=one : ) OS covered that is the way forward.
