Windows Install Builder
|
|
for SRB2
|
|
|
|
This installer is much like the 7-Zip self-extracting archive, except
|
|
this allows for scripting the post-install step.
|
|
|
|
This also allows for some light customization, including dialog messages
|
|
and program shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
The included install scripts manage the game data location depending on the
|
|
install location -- if installed in Program Files or AppData\Local, the
|
|
game data location is set to %UserProfile%\SRB2.
|
|
|
|
Program shortcuts are also added, as well as an uninstaller that
|
|
will remove the icons and also selectively uninstall the core game files.
|
|
The uninstaller gives you the option to preserve your game data and mods.
|
|

|
How to Use
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
1. Zip up the install contents in 7z format.
|
|
* ALL FILES MUST BE IN THE `new-install/` ARCHIVE SUBFOLDER, OR THE
|
|
POST-INSTALL SCRIPT WILL NOT WORK!
|
|
* Make sure you are using the LZMA2 algorithm, which is 7-Zip's default.
|
|
|
|
2. Copy the 7z archive to this folder using the following names:
|
|
* Installer.7z - 32-bit full installer
|
|
* Patch.7z - 32-bit patch
|
|
* Installer_x64.7z - 64-bit full installer
|
|
* Patch_x64.7z - 64-bit patch
|
|
|
|
3. Set the text in VersionFilename.txt to the version identifier for the
|
|
installer's filename.
|
|
* e.g., v2121 for v2.1.21, from "SRB2-v2121-Installer.exe"
|
|
* Also look through sfx/config-installer.txt and sfx/config-patch.txt
|
|
and update the version strings. Templating is TODO.
|
|
|
|
4. Run BuildInstaller.bat [7z.exe install path]
|
|
* First argument is the path to 7z.exe. If this is not specified, the
|
|
script will try to look for it in C:\Program Files [(x86)]
|
|
* This script will automatically add the install scripts to each
|
|
installer.
