NeoLoader 0.42a Final Setup Issue

[abel]

i've 0.41f and my log says:
NeoLoader ist Up To Date

Autoupdate doesn't work?

 

[DavidXanatos]

it should be working no changes to that try again or try manually

 

[abel]

tried again. Autoupdate doesn't work.

 

[DavidXanatos]

what release channel do you use?
I tryed it quick here with the final and it worked for me, also try if a clean install works?

 

[abel]

and, as expected, the installer has failed. Another untested code.

I've selected my existing NeoLoader folder, but setup has created a new NeoLoader folder inside my existing one, so different from what is written, the setup create always a new folder.


[EDIT]
However, in my country the dotted lists are Top-Down.
First i select a folder, and finally i press install.

 

[DavidXanatos]

Creating a folder NeoLoader inside the selected folder is intentional behavioure. (you cant tel the extractor to create a subdir inside the current dir, so a user doubletaping on setup and install would end up with all files on the level of the installer and thats bad.)

This is a standard selfextracting rar archive, it contains a folder called NeoLaoder containing the setup and some Qt dll's.
It gets extracted to the folder selected as destination folder.

Did the clean setup worked?

 

[abel]

It gets extracted to the folder selected as destination folder.

sure?

this is setup runned at 10:11, with selected folder = C:\program files\NeoLoader

The new NeoLoader.exe IS inside ..\Neoloader\NeoLoader folder, while the existing one (that i had updated at 9.59) has not been overwritten.

Regarding the update problem, the "0.41f" version, was the latest final or was not a "current" build ?

I'm thinking that maybe neoloader don't recognize updates if user is not using current build but an older one.

I'm using the "beta channel" and I never had any problems with the updating.

thats wrong you should select C:\program files

NO, the client is wrong.
If i want to overwrite the old version, I select the old folder (just like eMule), so C:\program files\NeoLoader. It's logical.
In fact, the suggestion says "if the destination folder does not exist, it will be created automaticaly before extrac..", SO IF the destination folder exist because/and i've selected it, the destination folder should not be created automatically.

The SFX archive contains

./NeoLoader/NeoSetup.exe
./NeoLoader/Config/NeoSetup.ini
./NeoLoader/cryptopp.dll
./NeoLoader/d3dcompiler_46.dll
./NeoLoader/icudt51.dll
./NeoLoader/icuin51.dll
./NeoLoader/icuuc51.dll
./NeoLoader/libeay32.dll
./NeoLoader/libEGLd.dll
./NeoLoader/libGLESv2d.dll
./NeoLoader/msvcp110d.dll
./NeoLoader/msvcr110d.dll
./NeoLoader/Qt5Concurrentd.dll
./NeoLoader/Qt5Cored.dll
./NeoLoader/Qt5Guid.dll
./NeoLoader/Qt5Networkd.dll
./NeoLoader/Qt5Widgetsd.dll
./NeoLoader/ssleay32.dll

When you extract that to C:/Program Files

you end up with

C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/NeoSetup.exe
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/Config/NeoSetup.ini
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/cryptopp.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/d3dcompiler_46.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/icudt51.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/icuin51.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/icuuc51.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/libeay32.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/libEGLd.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/libGLESv2d.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/msvcp110d.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/msvcr110d.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/Qt5Concurrentd.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/Qt5Cored.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/Qt5Guid.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/Qt5Networkd.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/Qt5Widgetsd.dll
C:/Program Files/NeoLoader/ssleay32.dll



Thats intended behavioure

As said its just an rar SFX it by default celects the working directory it is in, and if i don't put the folder in,
a user tha starts and clicks install without thinking will blast all files to the directory he has the setup in and that not good.

yes, a clean installation with the latest final 0.41f. I haven't updated to beta.
