Re: [IronPython] Final release packaging

Title: Bericht

I’ve opened a bug for us to track this – (#2705, http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&WorkItemId=2705)  if anyone else has any suggestions as for what the MSI should do please either comment here or add a comment to the bug.   It’s too much work to get this ready for 1.0, but we’ll look at distributing an MSI shortly after 1.0 (either 1.01 or 1.1 hopefully).   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith J.

It gives me insight and precise control.   By the way I think RC2 is quite good. Before my holicays I tried RC1 and many things fall over in my apps. I anticipated to have a lot to repair after the holidays, but with RC2 everything seems to run alright again.   Jacques de Hooge [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Martin Maly Verzonden: Sunday, August 27, 2006 3:43 AM Aan: Discussion of IronPython Onderwerp: Re: [IronPython] Final release packaging Our intention is to continue our tradition of zero-impact installers and release the 1.0 as the zip file. It seems though that it may be worth looking at the msi release (in addition to the zip file) as a possibility...   Martin     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jeff sacksteder Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2006 6:09 PM To: users@lists.ironpython.com Subject: [IronPython] Final release packaging I haven't heard any discussion about how the final release will be packaged. Will it be similar to the existing releases or a more polished msi? I'd like to see an installer with that drops the binaries into a known location and adds it to the system path, add itself to add/remove programs, etc- at least create a shell shortcut so that I can do start->run->ipy. Maybe register an association with.py files(asking first, of course.) Thoughts?
