@ferventcoder thanks, it's good to hear they don't currently do this on silent installs. But the fact that did with normal installs makes me suspicious of their intentions. Blocking SF...

@ferventcoder It occurs to me that direct packaging may require some tweaking for ones that have both x86 and x64 versions. Possibly there would be one package for each architecture,...

And presumably shimgen would know to only shim a single version, since practically every `exe` would collide. I'm not sure you can say they conflict though, since they would unzip...

@ferventcoder I was hoping more to avoid having to double the user's download time / HD usage, especially if one zip isn't used. For example each VLC zip is ~20MB....

Best not to wait for JSDoc. Just permit tuples for now: ```js /** @type {[number, number, number]} */ let x = [0, 0, 0]; ``` Just treat an empty tuple...

Is there an example showing how to use `--config-settings` with `setup.py` and/or newer alternatives? The `setuptools` documentation is awful and the top search results are years/decades out-of-date and wildly contradictory.

@mitza-oci Good call: `CreateFile` `C:\Users\Dev\Git\vplk\build\opt\ACE_wrappers\TAO\src\Debug\ace_gperf.exe\ace_gperf.exe` `PATH NOT FOUND`. It treated the `-g path` as a directory. The documentation says it's a file path: > -g path | To specify the...

Weird. I'm using the ACE+TAO 7.0.11 release. Passing the directory `-g C:\Users\Dev\Git\vplk\build\opt\ACE_wrappers\TAO\src\Debug` fixed it.

Doesn't happen on macOS. Might be Windows-specific. FYI `tao_idl` reports no error or warning on Windows if the `-g` path doesn't exist, if it eventually finds GPERF in ACE_ROOT or...

Could you note this restriction in `tao_idl`'s [documentation](https://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/TAO/docs/compiler.html) then? It currently makes no mention of relative or absolute paths. Also, what about for generating IDL files outside of the source...
