The beta branch is basically ready to be merged into master and deployed. This will also finally resolve the last long-standing wininstaller bugs from back when we used the Java installer (the custom user related ones). Only remaining issue is indeed update.cmd, but Juiceman hasn't replied on whether development for the beta branch is finished. It seemed to work in my tests though. Of the reported wininstaller failures, the beta seems to solve most of them. A few have reported failure even with the beta. I only managed to get a hold of one of these reporters, and his problem was revealed to be a broken Windows registry database. This new install design (using a standard service user account instead of a custom one) raised a new issue regarding how to update old installs. It was more or less agreed that it would be a better idea to start from scratch on a real updater than hacking UAC-functionality into update.cmd. Juiceman has looked at this, but not made any real progress. I'm insanely overbooked at the moment, so I'm afraid I cannot do this myself right now. This means that we will be leaving the current users behind, most importantly leaving them without the upcoming tray manager (which IMHO is an important aspect both short- and long-term). - Zero3 _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
