Windows Installer

Open jack-guy opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Obviously this is low priority, but Windows users tend to like to interact with programs through installers. This looks like a promising plugin to generate them with gulp.

If you're interested in supporting this I wouldn't mind submitting a PR.

@harangue yea a Windows installer would be great. I've thought about this for the other platforms too because when a new release comes out if there are any changes to things like config files that are stored on the users system we don't have a way to migrate them. Maybe an installer would allow us to do this type of thing when someone re-installs.

If you want to work on this go right ahead :+1:

Hi @harangue
Since this project uses Elecron, electron-builder might be prefered since it looks to build binaries for Linux/Mac/Windows. Having a single binary build solution would (in my opinion) be preferable. However I'm not familiar with the inner workings of either mongotron or electron yet so this is just a passing idea. Hope this helps in some small way.
