Thanks for fixing the Windows build. Now that you're in charge, is there any chance of fixing/improving the Windows installer?
1) For some reason, it's the slowest installer that I've ever used on Windows. (Seriously, I've installed enterprise versions of Microsoft Office in less time.) I find that about 1/2 way through the installation process the LMS service is available and usable, although you'd never guess that. But that progress bar just creeps along saying "Waiting for services to be configured and started". It's as though the installer is using timers instead of actually being able to tell that files are in place, registry setting have been made, and the server is actually running. Isn't that what installers are supposed to do? 2) When reinstalling, why does it always ask for a language? Can't it see the current language in use? If the language isn't stored in the registry where it can easily be read by the installer, it should be. 3) I don't WANT the tray app installed. Every time I reinstall the server, I have to exit the app and delete the shortcut from the Startup folder. 4) And I also don't want a desktop shortcut pointing to the Control Panel. #3 and 4 should be options, like they are in virtually every simple Windows installer. Many installers will also remember the user selections (e.g. the language is English, doesn't want the tray app, doesn't want a desktop icon) so that the user doesn't even have to change checkboxes the next time he updates the server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94109 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
