[mapguide-internals] Installer for 2.2 ready for branching?

[Trevor Wekel]

Hi Jackie,

The installers are in pretty good shape.  I think we will need to upgrade the 32 bit PHP and Apache binaries before we release.  We could do the upgrade on trunk or branch.  Might be easier to do before we branch.

Regards, 
Trevor

Hi All,

I was wondering if there were any issues with the installer for the 2.2
betas/RC and if none, if the installer is ready for branching?

I have several installer changes in the pipeline:

 - Rewritten custom actions (primarily Apache) free of MFC/ATL and using
only standard windows and C++ libraries
 - Scrapping the VS bootstrapper and integrating VC redist
detection/installation logic straight into the NSIS-generated executable
itself.
 - Control msiexec from within the NSIS-generated executable including
cleaning itself up after installation (ie. no more 500mb MSIs lying in
%TEMP% after installation)
 - Build system changes to allow the entire installer stack to be buildable
with Wix/NSIS/Windows SDK/VC Express (all free tools)

These set of changes seem rather disruptive given the (close?) release of
MGOS 2.2 hence my query of whether the installer is ready for branching.

- Jackie
