The Exe Installer does the following things:
|
|
|
|
1. check pre-requisites (.NET 2.0 or higher)
|
|
2. display the license, ask where and what to install
|
|
3. uninstall any previously installed Greenshot
|
|
4. copy all the Greenshot files, including selected languages and plugins, to `Program files\Greenshot` (the actual path depends on 32 or 64 bit OS)
|
|
5. create shortcuts and a un-installer
|
|
6. use [ngen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Image_Generator) on the installed application, which should improve the performance (this can take a while)
|
|
7. optionally create a startup registry entry
|
|
8. open our website with thank-you, and check if the installed version is the most recent.
|
|
9. start Greenshot (if selected)
|
|
|
|
Except the startup registry there are no registry entries changed.
|
|
Our installer is created with Inno Setup, and details on the possible installer parameters can be found here: [http://unattended.sourceforge.net/InnoSetup_Switches_ExitCodes.html](http://unattended.sourceforge.net/InnoSetup_Switches_ExitCodes.html)
