I took the install, with new and old exe's, updated the dat's, and re-packaged it into a msi file. Enjoy.

I updated the installer an will post it once a few people test it. I rebuilt it using the Wise Packager and updated the zone list and directory servers.

how do you update the directory servers? In my installer i currently have it write them to the registry.

I did the same thing. HKCU \ Software \ Continuum \ Options - DirectoryServer. Now that I think about it I think I seperated them with commas's instead of spaces although it seemed to work fine.

I just tested and the only directory server left is sscentral.sscuservers.net. That's no good. Anyone know how to add mirrors?

The new installer works fine so I made it the primary from now on.

Please add this as the primary download for Continuum on SSDL and i'll update www.getcontinuum.com to use SSDL as the primary DL with WZ as a secondary download.

Just something to think about...

 

Before making it the main installer you may wish to consider making the installer a plain .exe file. Windows Installer (msi) is not installed on some computers and also may mean harder setup on wine (correct me if im wrong im just guessing here..).

 

The existing .exe installer at SSDL (which my 0.39pre1 installer is based on) needs no third party components is also a smaller download...

I've looked at NSIS as a possible replacement but it requires learning yet another form of scripting. I also looked at building the installed in VS but it also uses Windows Installer. Since posting the latest download it'd gotten over 100 downloads. I will however look around and see what i can find.

The installer at SSDL uses innoSetup. http://www.jrsoftware.org This doesnt need much scripting knowledge if you are doing something simple and you can download a free gui program for it. http://www.jrsoftware.org/is3rdparty.php There is also a decompiler http://innounp.sourceforge.net/ so you can extract the script of the orignal setup and use that as a starting point.

 

If you want you can use the decompiler on my setup as well as the SSDL and see what changes i made (I am happy to give the raw script if u want it as well) I cut a few files out to reduce download time.

Funny, I actually just looked at InnoInstaller and created a script using IS Tool. Its a pretty smooth installer.

[Wonderer]

OK, this is my last try.

I added the proper Copywrite and License. I also added the ability to set the Install Directory and fixed the Uninstaller. It is now a standalone exe using Inno.

You might want to change the name from Continuum.exe to Continuum0.39pr1Setup.exe (if that is indeed what it is).
