Thanks a lot daniel for your test.
I will try to answer to all your points and will reorder them: * The setup seams to be not signed: "Unbekannter Herausgeber" Right. I will try to see if we can have it signed, but think this involves having a mixxx-developper keypair to sign the package and I don't think we have one * Nice Artwork :-) However, it contains the 1.11 Deere Skin yes, this is only a quickly made test artwork. Controller photo also needs to be changed by our own picture (or a free (as in free speech) one) * The XP warning feels to hard for me, compared to the fact that there are no known issues. What will be correct wording for you ? * The End-user license need to be polished. ** No pronotional Tracks ** "You should have received a copy of" but the copy follows just after. ** It feels wired that the License starts with the external libraries The text is taken from the LICENCE file. If text update is needed, please open a PR against this file. ** Line breaks are looking missplaces yes, there are issues with linebreaks. starting from a text file with linebreaks and transform it to RTF is not an easy task. so for now, I just openned it with wordpad and saves it untouched as RTF. ** Embedded links are highlighted but not clickable Windows installer framework limitation. Nothing I can do. * Translations are a separate part, but there is no hint what will be the language without it. ok, I will add that in the comment. * Clicking on "Disk Usage" stalls the setup with a pressed button for approx 20 s Windows installer framework logic. It scan all drives to detect disk usage => slow. The only thing I can do is to remove completely this dialog, but I don't think it's a good idea. The following items are because you installed on top of a previous installation: * Translations are 0 kB yes, the installer is smart enough to detect that you already have all files installed in the destination path, so installing this will take no additionnal space on your disk. Try installing on a mixxx-free system, you will see that size differ. * After installation I have two "Manual" links in the start menu yes, old installer one and new installer one. * The old uninstaller link remains in Startmenu yes * In control panel -> Software is a long list of Mixxx versions I have testes. They were there before the installation with the new installer * Uninstall plain "Mixxx" entry works only partial can you explain a bit more this one ? I think it uninstalls correctly what it has installed, but former installations let files behind. so not having a migration path from former installer to newer one seems to be a problem. we have two ways of adressing this : 1) detect if mixxx is already installed and forbid installation if a former installation from the previous installer is detected 2) write some (external and embedded) cleanup code that completely remove all traces from a previous installation the second has my preference but seems harder as it involves writing an autonomous cleanup executable and embedding it into the installer. --- Sébastien Blaisot Le 19/11/2015 08:44, Daniel Schürmann a écrit : > Hi Sébastien, > > Here my results from am instillation on a German Win XP using > mixxx-2.0-rc1-1.12-git5627-release-x86-en-us.msi > on to of an existing installation. > > * The setup seams to be not signed: "Unbekannter Herausgeber" * Nice Artwork > :-) However, it contains the 1.11 Deere Skin * The XP warning feels to hard > for me, compared to the fact that there are no known issues. * The End-user > license need to be polished. ** No pronotional Tracks ** Line breaks are > looking missplaces ** Embedded links are highlighted but not clickable > ** "You should have received a copy of" but the copy follows just after. ** > It feels wired that the License starts with the external libraries * > Translations are a separate part, but there is no hint what will be the > language without it. * Translations are 0 kB * Clicking on "Disk Usage" > stalls the setup with a pressed button for approx 20 s * After installation I > have two "Manual" links in the start menu * The old uninstaller link remains > in Startmenu > > * In control panel -> Software is a long list of Mixxx versions I have > testes. > * Uninstall plain "Mixxx" entry works only partial > > Kind regards, > > Daniel > > 2015-11-19 1:14 GMT+01:00 Sébastien Blaisot <mi...@blaisot.org>: > >> Hi all, >> >> I finally got wix to build an installer package for Mixxx and with the >> help of Pegasus, I have my build env fixed. >> >> So here you will find installer for 2.0-rc1-1.12-git5627 : >> https://owncloud.blaisot.org/index.php/s/nyEDsb0vEV7aa1m [1] >> >> There are 6 files. >> The exe ones are old installers built with NSIS (same as what you can >> download from the mixxx site except it was built on my own build env) >> The MSI ones are new installers built with wix (a preview of what could >> be the future installer) >> >> MSI installer are built in 2 languages (french and english, no other >> translation made at that time) and 2 bitwidth (32 and 64 bits) >> >> What I need is testers to tell me what needs to be polished in the MSI >> installers. >> >> I need you to test all use-cases that you can have in mind, even crazy >> ones like installing 64 bits mixxx on a 32 bits system, installing on >> top of a previous installation and so on. >> And also testing bare-metal install on a computer without mixxx >> installed, uninstalling (is there something left behind ?). >> >> I also need to test it on older versions of windows, so if you have an >> old windows XP or even pre-XP system, please let me know how the >> installer works on that system. >> >> please let me know also what you think of this new installer. >> >> These new installer won't be ready for Mixxx 2.0, but I need you to test >> it with Mixxx 2.0 because it will let me implement and test the upgrade >> path when time will come for a 2.1, starting from an older version. >> >> Thanks in advance, >> >> Sébastien >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> _______________________________________________ >> Get Mixxx, the #1 Free MP3 DJ Mixing software Today >> http://mixxx.org [2] >> >> Mixxx-devel mailing list >> Mixxx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel [3] Links: ------ [1] https://owncloud.blaisot.org/index.php/s/nyEDsb0vEV7aa1m [2] http://mixxx.org [3] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel
