Building on Frederic da Vitoria's initial version, I've put together a
script file for inno setup (see https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) which
can create a windows-10-compatible installer for lux. The .iss file can
be found in the 'scripts' section. If my information is correct,
extension associations can't be changed in W10 by checking the relevant
boxes in the installer, instead the extension associations are presented
as an offer when a file with the associated extension is first
doubleclicked - so I removed these entries from the installer's dialog box.
The installer will install an association to the .lux extension which
I'm moving to (from .ini which is still valid) and lux will be offered
as standard app for several image types (jpg, tif, .png, .bmp, .exr) and
for .pto files. It's likely that a windows system doesn't have
associations for some of these extensions (especially .pto, .lux and
.exr), in which case the doubleclick should even work without the dialog.
Lux may be installed user-only or all-users (which requires admin
privileges) and optionally a desktop icon can be installed. That's about
it for functionality. I built an installer for lux 1.0.9, which you can
find here:
https://bitbucket.org/kfj/pv/downloads/lux_1.0.9_setup.exe
To uninstall, use the system settings 'Apps' subsection and look for
'lux', which will also remove all extension associations.
Thanks, Frederic, for doing the initial work and starting the process of
building the installer with inno setup - apart from the bother with the
changed extension associations under W10, which I finally found
explained in the FAQ, I pretty much took over your initial work, with
added header for licensing and copyright and a few adaptations to the
folder structure o my system. Would you like to be put in as author as
well? If so, please indicate how I should mention you.
