Plugin Installer (In Progress) by matty on 06-27-2004 at 06:45 PM

Hey I just wanted a little feedback from you all.

I am currently in the process of making an Install Maker for plugins.

I have 5 screenshots of the Install Maker. Please leave the your comments of what you think.

* matty can't wait to be bombarded with questions from TB and M_E

Here are the screenshots

Edit: The Plus! icon on each of the screens, when you put your mouse over it, it changes to its normal colour and if you click it, it will open your default browser and take you to the Messenger Plus! website.

you should ask Guido if you could use his "Messenger Plus! An Extension by Patchou" header.

Also, you should ask if a file needs to be copy to other folder (not Messenger Plus! 3/Plugins/)

Like StuffPlug NG.

Like it says at the top, In Progress :P

The only reason why it says that there about Messenger Plus! is until Patchou comes online and I ask him about the Plus! logo in the installer.

Its does seem vyer nice matty - will it be able to install a folder and a dll? because DJM one could only handel things that where in a single root and not a dll then a dir.

RE: Plugin Installer (In Progress) by matty on 06-27-2004 at 07:41 PM

That is what I plan on doing. I mean its a work in progress so :)

RE: Plugin Installer (In Progress) by Guido on 06-27-2004 at 08:41 PM

Patchou has to decide about the logo in the installer, for me it's ok :)

In general: Good look ;) and bla bla bla <insert here our messenger conversation :P>
Change the captions of "Next" and "Back" to "Next >" and "< Back"
Add a manifest for XP.

add the check box to show/hide full path of the files and/or add horizontal scroll bars (apart from vertical ones)

add a similar option for VB.NET and C# plugins (instead of regsvr32 you have to execute regasm or something like that)

And also ask the user what is the dll you have to register, because in the files to add the user may have added several DLLs or none! :P

Add the ability of click each line and then the program shows the screen of that step




Good work in general :)
