How to make a new Decal installer:
|
||||
|
||||
Update from CVS (or make sure you have the version of the code you want to release)
|
||||
|
||||
Update readme.rtf to reflect the current state of Decal
|
||||
|
||||
Open the provided VSI project files (DecalInstaller.sln and DecalInstaller.wip)
|
||||
|
||||
Change the Product Name, Product Code, Version, Version string in the registry, and whatever else needs to be changed in the installer (but NOT the filename)
|
||||
|
||||
Build a new installer
|
||||
|
||||
Open Install.vbs
|
||||
|
||||
Add a new uninstall entry for the current Product code using the others as an example (AllProducts.Add "<version>", "<GUID>")
|
||||
|
||||
Change the ThisVersion constant to reflect the new version number
|
||||
|
||||
Save and Close Install.vbs and VSI
|
||||
|
||||
Open EnZip 3.00 ( freeware: http://www.cpam.freeserve.co.uk/ )
|
||||
|
||||
Choose File, New Archive... (or hit Ctrl-N)
|
||||
|
||||
Give a filename such as "Decal_2000.zip" for Decal 2.0.0.0
|
||||
|
||||
Add Decal.msi and Install.vbs to the files, using maximum compression (available on the Options tab)
|
||||
|
||||
Choose Tools, Create Self-Extractor... (or hit Shift-X)
|
||||
|
||||
Click Next to customize the extractor
|
||||
|
||||
Click Next to NOT have a message box
|
||||
|
||||
Click Next to have it extract to the TEMP folder
|
||||
|
||||
Change the Tile Caption to "Decal Installer" and Click Next
|
||||
|
||||
Type "Install.vbs" in the Command box, leave the Parameters box empty, then hit Next
|
||||
|
||||
Click the Change Icon... button and select the Decal.ico from the source/Installer/Res folder
|
||||
|
||||
Select the first icon and Click Ok, then Click Next
|
||||
|
||||
Uncheck Display Run Command Checkbox
|
||||
|
||||
Check Unzip Automaticly
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure Default to overwrite files without prompting is selected
|
||||
|
||||
Click Next, then Click Yes to bypass the warning
|
||||
|
||||
Verify your options in the displayed listbox and then hit Create (this may look like it's not doing anything, but it is)
|
||||
|
||||
When it completes, hit Test Self-Extracting ZIP file now
|
||||
|
||||
If everything went ok, it should display a command prompt window while previous Decal versions are uninstalled, then close and start the Decal installer MSI
|
||||
|
||||
Click Close, then close EnZip
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
VERIFY!!!!!!!!
|
||||
Make sure there is only ONE add/remove entry for Decal
|
||||
Make sure there is only ONE Decal group in the Start Menu
|
||||
Make sure there is only ONE Decal icon on the Desktop
|
||||
Make sure ALL the file versions are correct
|
||||
Load up Decal and make sure it runs properly (to verify things such as registry values)
|
||||
Attempt to delete all of the shortcuts, then open IE. If the installer starts and repairs the shortcuts something is wrong.
|
||||
Test the FavIcon creation
|
||||
Generally kick it around and attempt to break it
|
||||
|
||||
COMMIT!!!!
|
||||
Commit your new changes with a tag (so that the installer can be rebuilt in it's current state at any time)
|
||||
If this is a release version (not BETA), create a branch for bugfixes
|
||||
Upload the binary to SourceForge (see sf.net instructions)
|
||||
Test the download and verify you get the same file you uploaded
|
||||
Change the homepage of decaldev.sf.net to point to the new download
