- C'è un installer... e questo è già buono...
- L'installer informa delle dipendenze da Enterprise
Library e da il link per scaricarla... bene
- Viene creata una voce nello start menu... bene
- Ci sono delle release notes da leggere... bene, ma visto che molti lo
scorderanno... le riporto qui:
1. Updater Application Block
1.1 Exceeding Maximum Path
Length
The Updater Application Block creates a folder hierarchy and files
during the download and activation processes. This hierarchy includes folders
named using GUIDs, representing application and manifest identifiers. The
files created by the Updater Application Block in this hierarchy are subject
to the Windows maximum path length of 260 characters. This means that if your
application is located at deeply nested path you can encounter an exception
when the Updater Application Block attempts to create files in the folder
hierarchy. To avoid this issue, you can install your application at a location
closer to the root directory. Alternatively you can set the BasePath
configuration property for the Updater Application Block. The value entered
for the BasePath property is used as the root folder for the folder
hierarchy created by the Updater Application Block. If you do not enter a
value for this property, the hierarchy is created using the application folder
as the root folder. You set the BasePath property by using the
Enterprise Library Configuration Console.
2. Updater Manifest
Tool
2.1 Maintaining the Source Folder
Property
The Application Properties tab of the
Updater Manifest Tool contains field labeled Source Folder. You set the
value of this field to establish the root folder for the application files you
want to add to the manifest. This location is also used when creating a hash
value for the files or changing hash providers. The value of the Source
Folder property is not saved in the manifest. The manifest contains only
the relative path from the Source Folder value to each application file. When
opening a saved manifest file, the Manifest Tool may show you a dialog to
locate the folder which contains the files specified in the manifest. The
folder you select in this dialog will set the new value for the Source
Folder property. Failing to specify
this value, will open a blank manifest.
- Le sample sono disponibili sia in VB.NET, sia in
C#... (nell'alpha erano solo in C#...)
- Il codice dell'application block è disponibile sia in VB.NET, sia in C#...
(idem come sopra)
- La documentazione è disponibile in formato Help di Windows...
...
male... prima era un bel documento Word... avrei preferito averla in entrambi
i formati...
Bene... ora mi tocca implementarla al posto della alpha e vedere che
succede!!!
