Include auto-installer with releases

Open BenVlodgi opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Problem: Some users don't know what to do with the .zip There is no readme provided with the releases to tell people to extract the files to a new folder. On top of that people are probably skiddish about where to place the files.

Solution: Include Auto-installer.exe for the releases


@ellingtonvengaboysmuseum:

We need to have a Bee2.4 windows installer created that will do the following, we also need to merge the packages file into the main bee2.4 before this can happen. i recommend install forge for creating the main installer...

  • [x] (prerequisite) merge the packages file into the main Bee2.4 file directory at each release (this is as easy as cake and should be considered already done)
  • [ ] install the main program under the specified folder
  • [ ] generate a shortcut to the desktop for the main bee2 exe file...

An installer can be found here. It fixes all of the issues mentioned above. The Github issue for it is here: #1121

The hope is this would be a 1 time download and not a download for every version thing and it would just grab the latest release as well as update the current BEE version
