Nope. Wasn’t able to find much on the community forums: just about everything I found dealt with doing restoration on your own, which isn’t feasible for me. I’ll probably need to reach out to that list and see what they say

In related news, this got announced last week:…[Read more]

Sure, we can mirror it. That would definitely help.

Redistribution is definitely allowed per the license:
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link other code…[Read more]

Is it the SDK on this page? No problems here – alright to upload it here?

So, new error today: looks like SourceForge is blocking the automatic download of DevIL from the CI but I can grab it fine with wget locally. Will need to come up with a new way of getting it. I’d rather not add DevIL back into the repository if I can help it. And I was just about to publish version 0.7.0, too 🙁

Looks like we have msitools over here. Will need to look into it

Looks like the fee is only required if the organization is making money so we should be good for now. 🙂

The biggest blocker to having support for other compilers at the moment is the generated code. VS uses its Class Wizard to generate it which isn’t supported by other setups.…[Read more]

Anything turn up – Galaxy no good? Get a feed from SoundonSound which unfortunately gets mostly brushed aside due to an over-cluttered inbox, they have quite a user base though – mostly from the UK.
The old M522 (bought locally) has acquired the Logitech Double Click Issue. No issue with humidity as it has been so dry. A few ideas on Reddit like…[Read more]

Update on the toy doll: now minus a tail and one leg. 🙁
The old wombat, tired of cold and dark holes has now taken to habiting the shed!
Purchased at ebay two sets of replacement blades here and here for two different models of Phillips shavers – different sellers – and they turn out to be exactly the same product. There’s that old feeling again…[Read more]

Hmmm, there’s Inno Setup on that list, but not NSIS. Only VS Enterprise is listed – no Community Edition is a bit of a drawback.
Oh blow, AIE won’t function on WS. In that case, a distant milestone, for a MSIX installation for MWEdit can be done in a sitting – There is this Python MSI Creator which might run on yours – can’t see much about…[Read more]

MSIX is for the Windows Store as opposed to a standard downloadable installer. May be something to consider down the road, however. It would require more work to get things running and I’m not entirely sure how to set the CI up for it. We can certainly add it to the tracker, though, as a long-term goal. It took Gimp years before they submitted it…[Read more]

I have yet to watch Sweeney Todd. Missed out on the stage version, too. 🙁

Really need to fix that

Florida oranges aren’t doing so hot lately. Citrus greening is hitting the state pretty hard, even home grown ones. On the bright side, the fig trees are doing great

I generally don’t have issues with the wildlife beating me edibles in the wild:…[Read more]

Inno and NSIS don’t generate msi packages apparently – however why not try MSIX creation in Advanced Installer Express from the MS Store? Pretty sure it deals with basic things like startmenu and desktop shortcuts, and then a couple of extra goodies thrown in for good measure. Seems like they have a well-established forum for reference, too. 🙂

What might be the best advice is not to converse at length with barbers on the subject of hair removal for fear of a developing Sweeney Todd episode. 😛
The seedless Valencia keeled over, not completely as the stems are still flexible. Always a soil issue being the root of the issue, so to speak.
Grabbing a sweet sarsparilla from a retailer nearby…[Read more]

They have been doing that for years now – yep – should have done it in PS. It’s another one to learn, along with the more Pythonesque AHK v2 – plus a bazillion other things such as Pascal for XEdit scripts.
Haven’t received any feedback on it via NexusMods at least – one is always wont to ride under the banner of no news is good news – even though…[Read more]

Neither here with the standard 23″ monitors, did find that a power reset of the offending monitor in a Windows session makes it go away – at least before the next power off. More testing with Sleep required.
Updated TranspTester, might be worth a look at on Windows sometime – have you considered a virtual box for an older W10 build?

Dr. Sleep paid too much lip service to the Shining in attempting bring in the old themes and tying up loose ends. Still, B+ movie might be worth a gander for the screams and tension if nought else appeals.
Still haven’t got into any new series yet – my preference – (as the box is playing up as per) so sticking to movies for now.
Was absolutely…[Read more]

It looks like you can use wine cmd <batchfile>.bat to run it under wine but I don’t currently have Wine installed.

Should run the same on Windows server as it does on regular Windows. Just a thought: any plans on a PowerShell version? It looks like Microsoft is trying to replace the batchfile language with PowerShell scripts.

Yeah, we may need to forgo CPack as its feature set seems rather limiting. Its Inno support does look better than its WiX support, even though it is very much in the early stages (the docs definitely need some proof-reading). Wouldn’t give us the pretty MSI integration but the docs on using WiX (even the ones on the official Firegiant site) aren’t…[Read more]

Inno’s not bad – although someone at the VB forums often referred to it as No-No Setup. 😛
Seems the Wix toolset has all the info on the xml – have you seen this?
https://www.advancedinstaller.com/versus/wix-toolset/create-wix-custom-dialog-user-input.html

CMake sets up their shortcuts via template files: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/tree/master/Utilities/Release/WiX?ref_type=heads

Not yet sure how they do it, I’m still analyzing things. It would help if this stuff were documented but alas.

Gimp, on the other hand, uses Inno Setup (as does LOOT) but Inno doesn’t create MSI files, which…[Read more]

CPack has an option, CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE, to add a WiX XML fragment to the files. We may be able to leverage that feature. Will take a look at that article when I get the chance and will poke around the web some as well. 🙂
