Installer
Hey, I was writing up an installer for another project I'm working on, so I figured I'd write one up for WCU
Just thought I'd mention that. Umm, so ... thoughts? Lol.

No, of course not; this is a portable project, win, nix, mac.

Good. I didn't think so, but you never know though. It's just as well though, writing scripts to edit the registry can be annoying as hell.
Any opinions on what the default installation directory should be?

C:\...\ProgramFiles\wcu\ probably. I was going to suggest a version, like wcu2.4, but probably the version changes every time you unzip a patch, and you'd probably overwrite your existing installation if you download a new installer, so what's the point of having the version number in the folder?; it would only make problems.

Just remember that WCU is more of a tool kit that encompasses many games then a game.
I don’t know if you are able specify was the “add/remove programsâ€

I know you believe you understand what you think I said.
But I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Not sure the interfaces are in place for downloadiing and installing games as packages that go *into* WCU-the-platform; but it might be a great learning experience to make that happen, and to turn PR into a WCU package that installs *after* wcu is installed.

Actually two versions are required: firstly, a PR stand alone version shipping with the VS engine and its very limited set of models, missions etc. that is needed to run PR and play just it and
secondly, a PR mod package with just its mission etc. as "a mod" of WCU, so to speak. Because if you already have WCU installed you already have the engine and all the models. there is no need to download and install everything twice.
I think it's important to have a slim stand alone PR version.
For enthusiasts there WCU, the collectible complete set of all models (maybe with model viewer) and as add-ons the mods (just the rules for them): WC1, WC2, ..., PR.
Does this make sense?

No dice guys. Neither VegaStrike nor WCU like the BSPs from CVS.
@Zeog: Not entirely true. I plan on making a Linux installer as well. It will just be a seperate program from the Win32 installer.

I could be wrong, but I think you can trash those. I think it's like a cache; --a bugs' cache

Hmmm... What did you do?, recompile? In the cvs tree, game data is in the data4X subdirectory... Maybe it's looking there?

I just did a checkout of the wcu-devel module to D:\games\wcu and told the installer archiver to grab files from there, and it didn't work, so I decided to try the game to ensure everything was working, and came across the above-described problems.

Sorry, Priv; I don't know enough to be of help; plrobably Klauss or Zeog or Dandandaman or Spiritplumber or Hellcat will have the answer for you, whichever of them checks this thread first.

Curious... what's on CVS is a dump from Spiritplumber's 0.2.3 archive... it should work. (I remember it did when I tried just before commiting).
generatedbsp definitely shouldn't be there... if it's in CVS, it should be deleted.
Also .pyc files - delete all .pyc files.
Try that and post both stderr.txt and stdout.txt, please.
