v1.9.0

What's new

These changes are about simplifying the installer/uninstaller UI a little bit.

• No more cancel button (users can still hit the red x in the upper right corner)
• No more show/hide details button or textbox with details of what is being installed/uninstalled
• Back button has now been disabled during installation/uninstallation
• Also added a minor flag to binarycreator to help managing all the custom flags.

New binarycreator cli parameters

We now have three new parameters for the binarycreator (that can be supplied when building the installer)

No cancel button

-xc or --no-cancel can be supplied to tell the framework that it should not include a cancel button in the installer/uninstaller. Users will still have the red x in the upper right corner, to quit at any time in the installer/uninstaller.

No UI details options

-xd or --no-details can be supplied to tell the framework that it should remove the show/hide details button from the installer/uninstaller, as well as removing the details textbox.

Custom installer

-x or --custom-installer can be supplied to tell the framework that it should turn on all the custom flags, that is all flags whose short form starts with an x. At time of writing that is -xi, -xp, -xc and -xd.
This is also it's own flag, and might be used in the future to tune some minor things that don't warrant their own flags.

v1.7.0

JourneyId in the installer

The installer now supports JourneyIds.

• It will look for a uuid v4 in the filename, and if found, use that as JourneyId
• If not found it will create one of it's own
• This JourneyId is then sent with every single protobuf message
• Upon successful installation, this JourneyId is written into registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CCP\EVE\InstallerJourneyId as a Rfc4122 byte array.

v1.6.0

Reduced steps in the installer

We now offer the option of having 3 (4 for China) steps in the installer, instead of 7 (8 for China).

New binarycreator cli parameters

We now have two new parameters for the binarycreator (that can be supplied when building the installer)

Custom Introduction page

-xi or --custom-intro can be supplied to tell the framework that it should build the installer using our own custom introduction page. This page replaces the standard introduction page, and when supplied, you should also remove the target directory page, start menu selection page, component selection page and ready for execution page.

Preload packages

-xp or --preload-packages tells the framework to load all scripts before showing the first page of the installer. By doing that, it will take longer time before we show the user the first page, but we also get rid of the loading bar when clicking on next on the first page

New installer config option

You can now add your preferred comments in your installer config xml file, like so:

<UninstallerComments>EVE Online Installer</UninstallerComments>

It will then show up when you select the uninstaller under Programs and Features:
