Windows installer about copyq HOT 10 CLOSED

I would choose something simple. But lzPack needs Java which add other dependency so lets avoid that -- it's good that it runs on other systems but we will probably need only installer for Windows. Others look quiet good (few more here: http://alternativeto.net/software/inno-setup/?platform=windows).

Type of installation should be:

• Full -- install all plugins,
• Minimal -- install only text plugin
• Custom -- select plugins to install.

64-bit version for the app would be nice but I won't be able to build that.

I'm agree, IzPack is not a good choice.
By the way, do you use a 32-bit Windows?

from copyq.

Yes, I can build the app only on 32-bit Windows XP.

I've uploaded simple installer here. This was made using Inno Setup.

Plugins are not optional since any custom text I add to the installer will need to be translated. So for now all plugins are installed.

I've tried your installer. Works ok for me but:

• It does'nt launch CopyQ at startup.
• Its code is not at github repository. Windows installer should be easy to build from repository code.

I've added the config file for Inno Setup to repository (in "shared/copyq.iss"). It really needs some improvements -- mainly app version and paths should not be repeated in the file so it's can be easily changed.

I'll create new task for launching at Windows startup.

I've added check box for autostart in the installer and custom installation for selecting plugins. There are few string that should be translated though (https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/blob/master/shared/copyq.iss#L30).

One thing that is left to do is to uninstall old program files before installing new -- don't know yet how this can be done with Inno Setup.

I'll release next version with this installer if everything is OK.

Where are isl files (message files)?

from copyq.

The isl file mentioned in the config file are part of Inno Setup (under installed Languages folder). As I understand it this shouldn't be changed. If you want to translate the installation strings just add es.ProgramFiles=... and other lines in under [CustomMessages] in copyq.iss.

Done!
Great work, hluk. Thanks.
