[Firebird-net-provider] RFC: Installation
Today, during msi installation building, I was wondering, whether FirebirdClient needs installation. From my POV it's mainly for developers, so, I hope, they are able to download some archive unpack and add it to right place, isn't it? (In fact it can be easier to do this with non-installation package). I've uploaded both versions so SF, so I'll be watching download rates for both files. Also the Jaybird doesn't have any installer (but maybe it's some Java specific decision). Any comments? -- Jiri {x2} Cincura (CTO x2develop) http://blog.vyvojar.cz/jirka/ | http://www.ID3renamer.com - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] RFC: Installation
Jiri, While I agree that most developers have the capability to unpack and add the elements to the correct place, it is an area that prone to error. One of the things a computer is good at is doing tedious things correctly once it has been trained (programmed). To me, it makes more sense to train the computer once and let it do the work than make all the users master the tedious stuff -- again.

The new developers to .Net and Visual Studio might prefer a full automatic install. Also, it seems easy to make a mistake, and if something isn't working right in VS after making all the manual changes that are required. It might be hard to find what you did wrong. As an example, I know I can't see any problem with the configuration settings that I entered manually, but VS2005 is still telling me that I did something wrong with installing Firebird ADO.Net, when I try to create some of the enterprise solutions that Microsoft provides via their Guidance packages. I just want to see what they are and in which kind of project that I might use them, but for now, I can't. I do have the proper GUID copied from the GAC to those locations that I had to edit manually. So, I wonder if a fully automated install into VS would avoid those problems, that I'm having. Also, I'm just starting to learn C# in VS2005 and VS2008. But, I've been a Delphi developer for 13 years and using Firebird since the first version. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc.
