1. How to provide option to change the install location/drive?
2. How the web update is working? IOW, how should we create the diff file as in http://www.5group.com/downloads/updates/smin/Smin-1.4.0.69.dif
Hey!
No way to change the default install folder. It will always be under Program Files directory, followed by Company name (if any), then Product name.
In order to use UOL, you have to enable it in Options. Then when you build your second setup (with changed version number) an update file will be generated in Application Data\SMIN folder.
Thanks.
BTW, for the incremental updater, is there any documentation available?
Say, user has v1.0. Without upgrading to v2.0, he is updating to v3.0? How this is handled? Will the installer create diff for every other versions? Is 404 means, no update available as in the case of http://www.5group.com/downloads/updates/smin/Smin-1.4.0.69.dif ?
Hello! Sorry for the late reply. Yes, updates are created for every revious version. And yes 404 means \’no update is available\’.
However we are going to reimplement/recode this using different engine, and probably in 1.4 Beta 2 all this will behave differently.
