+ Redid file associations on Win2K in what I believe is "the right way".
  Can't test it until getting to a Win2K box, because the non-Admin way
  of setting file associations on Win2K doesn't work on any other flavor
  of Windows (and other flavors of Windows never need Admin privs to
  do it the old way).
+ Consequently got rid of the "Register file associations" Component and
  associated GUI.
+ Added a line to the summary saying whether or not this is an Admin-level
  install (I fear that will be an important clue someday).
+ Minor fiddling to the summary to reduce the # of lines.  Added a
  horizontal scrollbar in case the install path is very long.
+ Reworked the way the Main and Tools components share pydoc.pyw; cleaner
  and simpler.

New runtime vrbl DOADMIN.  When false, we never try to write under HKLM,
and install the Python and MS runtime DLLs into the Python dir instead of
a system dir.
Initial value is taken from new compiler vrbl _DOADMIN_ (default true),
and forced to false if the user doesn't have admin privs.
This makes it possible to *test* non-admin installs on machines where the
distinction doesn't exist (like my home box), via just changing _DOADMIN_.
It may also be useful for users who don't *want* an installer to

would require adding more GUI to let them get at it.

  leaving the Tools/Scripts/ directory non-empty, and so Wise couldn't
  remove that directory (or any above it).  Fixed by installing pydoc.pyw
  at most once.
+ Rearranged and commented the "register file extensions" section, because
  it was confusing and needs more work:  turns out it's not true that
  Win2K requires Admin privs to register file extensions, BUT, if you
  don't have Admin privs, Win2K requires a new way to register file
  extensions, and a way that doesn't blow up but doesn't do any good either

We always wrote a pair of lines to the Wise install.log telling it to
delete the Tools and Lib directories at uninstall time.  However,
under the old version of Wise, they didn't actually do anything.  Under
the new version, they work as advertised, and even delete files users
added.
Got rid of those, and replaced them with similar uninstall cmds that
get rid of all .pyc and .pyo files (whether or not the installer created
them).  This works nicely!  It still tears down the directory structure,
except for those directories needed to get to any non-.pyc/o file(s) the
user may have added.

Aha!  Finally figured out something else that's been driving me nuts:
turns out the canned new "backup directory" dialog put its "back" and
"next" buttons at a different relative horizontal position than all the
other canned dialogs.  This explains why you had to keep moving the
mouse around if you wanted to do a straight all-default install -- the
Next button kept moving around.  Now the back/next buttons are in exactly
the same place on all dialogs, and you can click straight thru to the end.

23 years agoThe "Select Destination Directory" dialog didn't ask for confirmation
Tim Peters [Wed, 1 Aug 2001 03:29:59 +0000 (03:29 +0000)]
The "Select Destination Directory" dialog didn't ask for confirmation
about installing into a pre-existing directory *unless* you hit the
Browse button first.  At least while testing, this screwed me repeatedly.
Plus I really liked the Inno Setup scheme of giving you a list box in
its "select directory" dialog without needing a distinct browse button
to ask for that.

So I redid this dialog from scratch:  now gives a list box at once, the
browse button is gone, it asks for confirmation if the directory already
exists, and, since this is the first dialog in the set now, also removed
its "Back" button.
