Hello,
Does anyone have experience of distributing Pharo-based software as an MSI installer package to be installed by clients?
what is an MSI?
Microsoft installer, a packaging for windows-based software that allows installation of the software on a windows machine: creation of registry keys, Start menu items, looking for previous installations of the software and upgrading it, etc.
I would particularly like to know the tool that was used to create the MSI.
Do you mean installing a Pharo App? What means installing?
So, it would mean that Pharo app is installed on a client machine: creating directory hierarchy, placing image and vm files and any scripts that come with the image, and creating windows shortcuts. For the time, its a question from a client so I thought someone might have some relevant exp.
Because if you ship an image in essence: you ship one image with an opening image saying installingâ¦. then you save
