Updating the installer for better security and robustness. Large patch coming soon (just getting an issue number to put in NEWS). | |||

Patch. I'm also revisingDoc/using/windows.rst, but I don't want to delay the initial reviews.I don't think this is perfect, but it works well enough for the first alpha (scheduled for 8 Feb), so I want to get it in and stabilised now rather than at the last minute. There'll be more features and work to do.There's a README.txt file (which I'll attach next) that has an overview of the installer. It'll be worth reading that first before looking at the code.And apologies if the code makes no sense. I'm happy to explain sections, but WiX is about 90% magic (and the rest is MSBuild magic) and so any explanation is likely to be unsatisfactory. I've been working with both of these pretty intently for the last few years and I still don't feel like I've mastered them... | |||

As I expected, shortly after posting this I find a significant issue with the way the installer will work.Expect a revised patch soon :) | |||

New patch with some changes to how optional debug symbols and binaries are handled. (I misunderstood how a particular WiX feature worked...) | |||

Updated patch, and hopefully it will make it into review this time.I deliberately excluded the image for the using/windows.rst documentation but you can see it athttp://imgur.com/CdQaBmp | |||

Got about as many reviews as I expected, but the builds have been going fine and I want this checked in before alpha, so in it goes :) | |||
