----------------------------------- templest Tue Jan 27, 2004 5:18 pm Program Installer written in Turing. ----------------------------------- It's an installer that I wrote in Turing. Just in case you want to make a pro installation with menu's the "Start Menu" and shortcuts on the desktop. All you have to do is modify the code where I have commented and make sure you put the exe of the installer in the appropriate location so that the user can just double click it to install. ;) Uninstaller comming soon. :) EDIT: If you want to just run it to see how it works, go for it. It'l make a folder in your "Program Files" directory called "test program" ----------------------------------- we64 Tue Jan 27, 2004 6:50 pm ----------------------------------- pretty good, but the processing is still a fake one. ----------------------------------- Delos Tue Jan 27, 2004 8:05 pm ----------------------------------- Looks quite simple. All it really does is copy premade files...you might be better of doing it as a batch file - none of the GUI to get in the way. It does, however save the User from having to think past "Click Here and I will install your programme for you...". Which is always a good thing :wink: . Now all you have to do is add compression capabilities, ala Install Shield. And you're set to go! ----------------------------------- templest Wed Jan 28, 2004 7:59 am ----------------------------------- I was thinking of using resource hacker to pack files that you wanted to install into the exe. but then, that wouldn't work... unless you aswell knew how to use it... or something. But then, make a turing program to extract stuff from an exe, ohh god. WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO!? This is going to take somethinking. make an installer that's just one file. hrm... any ideas? ----------------------------------- Delos Wed Jan 28, 2004 10:48 am ----------------------------------- Try this instead: http://www.jrsoftware.org/ Make your life easier! ----------------------------------- templest Wed Jan 28, 2004 11:50 am ----------------------------------- You see... That's not the point. The point is that I want to make my own. :-P ----------------------------------- Delos Wed Jan 28, 2004 1:00 pm ----------------------------------- Well, in that case...have fun learning compression! Lol. Indeed, what have you gotten yourself into...hehehe. ----------------------------------- shorthair Thu Jan 29, 2004 12:05 pm ----------------------------------- That is retardedly hard to do , cause ther is also so many types of compression , like you cant compress music the same way as documents , same goes for videos, ive looked and found its a really complicated thing to learn how to do ----------------------------------- templest Thu Jan 29, 2004 2:19 pm ----------------------------------- That is retardedly hard to do , cause ther is also so many types of compression , like you cant compress music the same way as documents , same goes for videos, ive looked and found its a really complicated thing to learn how to do And the flame count keeps on growing. I don't consider myself retarded. And If I really want to become a programmer I should be able to make all sorts of sh!t that i want, right? So I should be able to make an installer that compresses. Now, fùck off. I'm tired of your sh!t. I'll make one just to piss you off. Check back in 2 - 3 weeks. ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Thu Jan 29, 2004 2:58 pm ----------------------------------- come on people, stop this crap before I kungfu all your asses. templest wants to program using turing, I think it's a good idea, don't tell him that he can't do it and stuff like that. If you have the time to type up that much stuff, might as well give him some suggestions. I'm sure people didn't think it was possible to do 3D engines in turing or whatever, but look, there is one right in this forum, now isn't that something? Moral of the story, if you begin to list off how someone isn't going to accomplish something, you can probably think of a million reasons, but you will just restrain them from even trying, and no way is there going to be a final product if someone doesnt even begin to try. ----------------------------------- Paul Thu Jan 29, 2004 3:05 pm ----------------------------------- I think it is a great idea, doing something that is said to be undoable just adds to the fun when you do it. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Thu Jan 29, 2004 4:19 pm ----------------------------------- shorthair- some compression algorithms work regardless of the data look at winzip :wink: ----------------------------------- shorthair Thu Jan 29, 2004 5:10 pm ----------------------------------- umm can someone tell me how i flamed him in that post of mine , because i never called him retarded at all , i dont see what i did wrong, also i never said he couldnt do it , i pointed out that i was looking at some information and it looked really hard , i meade no flame comments i never said he couldnt do it , i made no refeerence to him , i dont appresiacte you guys on my back for somthign i didnt do ----------------------------------- Dan Thu Jan 29, 2004 5:14 pm ----------------------------------- And the flame count keeps on growing.

The free version of gInstall is farily good if you understand that programing language.... see my website to get gInstall and my Template if you dont get how to make installer...work and all... www.geocities.com/the_short22/turing gInstall can have a GUI and all that,....uninstaller,compresssion...FREE!!! but.... you have to look at help files and templates...cause the free version is just coder... Not a WYSIWYG...the templates in Help are good mine is set up already for all your pics and sound + the exe file from your game... ENjoy! *I admire your work and Effort... i was thinking on making this... but then... i realized it was too time consuming,.. i have too many programs on the run../.. and Then i also saw this gInstall Thingy....
