Note that CRE requires some files (config) from the server, and also the 
presence of some directories, I think... And arch and maps at the right place.

So to really use it, some work is still required...

The .exe is generated in a single line, using the scripts in make_win32/mxe :D

Thanks for the test :)

Yes, the installer isn't digitally signed, so there is a warning... To sign 
requires paying some $$$ of course, unless I'm mistaking...

I have on my to-do list to do some automatic builds and make the installer 
available, but didn't yet progress on that...



About CRE, I'm not sure it's worth doing an installer, as I suppose anyone 
working on archetypes will probably get the git repository... Thoughts?



Best regards

My thoughts are to make CRE available as an .exe

Make those aware of it's existence (website, wiki, discord/irc) and see
if any feedback is collected.

If there's no feedback, then can stop or scale back the .exe promotion.

Or, not pursue this idea at all if creating the .ext is a very painful
or tedious process.

I have tested the JXClientInstaller.exe and it did alert about the
unknown publisher. Otherwise, no issues or problems with the client on
Windows 10.

Anyone else tested the installer?
Any issues or problems?

Assuming all went well for others - what are the thoughts on uploading
the .exe to SourceForge?


NOTE: I have not worked with the cre.exe yet
