1. New Install Program
Thanks to Al Gonzalez and INNO Setup,
we now have a nice modern-looking install program
for Euphoria (WIN32+DOS32).
I took Al's original effort and tweaked a few things,
and now it's on the Download Euphoria page.
I'd like to get some feedback on it,
in particular whether it works ok on
all versions of Windows (above Win 3.1).
If you've already installed Euphoria, and just want to
try it, I suggest that you rename your EUPHORIA directory
before running it. It will be safer and easier to reset your files.
See the new INSTALL.HTM (how to uninstall) if you need
to undo anything.
It's a bit larger than the old euphor23.zip (928K vs 582K)
but people will just think they're getting more software 
It sets up EUDIR and PATH on all systems, even those
that don't use AUTOEXEC.BAT. It also sets the file
associations for .ex and .exw files, and puts Euphoria
into the Start Menu.
The old installer, with the DOS window that pops up,
gave a bad first impression of Euphoria.

Hey y'all
Im outspoken and speak my mind all the time, anyone who's been on
this list for any length of time knows.
With this said here's another...
To everyone who's writing programs in Euphoria I would like
to extend to you that this installer was NOT writen in Euphoria.
WHY ROBERT?
Is it because Euphoria is a toy language?
If EUPHORIA isnt a toy then why isnt an installer writen in
EUPHORIA?
I have several installer GUI's myself, one that I made look similar to
Al Gonzalez' installer....I submitted a few lines of this to Rob.
"I think"
he's scared someone will actually look at the code and be put off
by the fact that Windows programming in Euphoria takes twice the
typing.
I know of three other people (Euphoria Guru's) much better programmers
than I am or ever will be that are/hmm writting installers as we speak.
Here's what Rob wrote me:
>I wouldn't want you to waste your time.
>Perhaps you could get the size down to 650K,
>but it's going to take a lot of your time, and some
>of mine, and it will need a lot of testing on various systems.
>It also might not be as easy for me to use.
>There's also the issue that some people think Euphoria
>must be a "toy" language if it's only 596K
So you increase the D/L size to almost a 1meg thinking people
wont think its a toy anymore but they're asking now why wasnt
the installer coded in Euphoria .. hehe
Y'all think about it y'hear.

Actually, significant parts of it *were* written in Euphoria:
* the code that edits AUTOEXEC.BAT
* the code that generates both the HTML docs
and the plain text docs
> If EUPHORIA isnt a toy then why isnt an installer writen in
> EUPHORIA?
I know it's hard to imagine, but there are actually some useful software
tools that weren't written in Euphoria.
A very nice installer could be written entirely in Euphoria.
You know that very well. You've written one in Euphoria for
some company. With a lot of work you could adapt it
to installing Euphoria. However, I don't see any point in
re-inventing the wheel. The INNO installer system is
easy for me to use, well documented, has lots of options,
and gives a nice result. If you want to make and thoroughly test
a better installer, I'll be happy to use it, but I was just warning you
that installers take time to develop and test under all
possible scenarios, on all versions of Windows.
When someone downloads and runs the setup program,
the last thing on their mind is whether it was written in Euphoria.

I don't see how this "not invented here" attitude helps Euphoria. I don't
think anyone really thinks less of Euphoria if Robert chooses to use a well
known installer.
Given that Inno Setup is already written, tested, and debugged on a number of
Windows platforms, that just represents that more time that Robert can devote
to working on Euphoria, instead of reinventing the wheel.

I'll supply the code if I can get some testers for it.

Dont I know this....
Close to a year Ive been working on installers.
This is why I came up with EFFM to test out my dir2() routine
(havnet had anyone complain yet)
So far I have Win 95, 98, ME, 2k and NT 4 to test on
(need an XP machine)
btw, EFFM was tested and works well on XP
EFFM is about 6000 lines smaller than my installer.

Come on Rob, wouldnt it be better appeal to have the code showcasing
EUPHORIA's ability?.

Great ! It's good that Euphoria has an "official" windows
installer.
To those who thinks it had to be written in Eu:
It is better that Rob can spend his time on Eu 2.4
rather than spending a few months on coding/testing/debugging
an installer. Euphoria isn't the only language which has
installer written in different language. And, for example,
EXW is packed with UPX, which also wasn't written in Euphoria
and is compiled in Watcom, which also wasn't written in Eu.

WOW David.....
This coming from someone who's re-inventing WX-Windows... 
Maybe we should all throw up our hands and go back to machine code.
Not ASM, that a re-invented wheel not C cause its re-invented
certainly not Euphoria whos very base is C. So, I guess re-invention might
be a good thing? NO?
I think it sucks and leans toward the attitude of half-A**ing somthing.

9. Re: New Install Program
Ooops! I spoke too soon. The new installer zapped all my Euphoria file
associations without my permission. I have .E, .EX, .EW, and .EXW all
associated with my favorite editor, and now I've just had to go back and
redo those associations.
Please, fix the installer to do :
1) Show what are the current (if any) associations,
2) Ask permission, for each file type association, you are contemplating
changing.
3) Only change those ones that the user said was okay to change.

I don't think anyone's dead set against you on this, I'll just say
that if a year ago I knew you were going to spend 12 months writing
something which you could donate to the euphoria community, I
personally wouldn't have chosen an installer. No matter, big "if".
Getting an installer of any flavour together in a few weeks was the
right choice over starting a big project which might not get finished
until say March 2003.
You are right, wanting to do things in Euphoria, but that doesn't also
mean Rob was wrong. Rob gave you the go-ahead anyway.
I can see you are very passionate about this because you are very
close to the subject. You should perhaps expect some scepticism from
those of us who are not, for instance, can it offer any additional
features of real benefit (eg quickly switching between 2.3 and, when
it arrives, the 2.4 beta?, checking for updates/patches, installing
the IDE + win32lib via direct downloads, etc), does it really have all
the features I read about on http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ?
Otherwise, yes, if you have the time & inclination, go for it.

Sorry, I'm missing something here. What am I "re-inventing"? I'm actually
looking at wxWindows because I *don't* have to create a cross-platform
toolkit from scratch in Euphoria. I readily admit that spending months of
time on Llama and company was a complete waste of time, when I could have
used wxWindows instead.
I'm not going to bang my head against the wall trying to get the Euphoria
source to play nice with a C++ compiler. If Robert fixes the source so it
plays nice with C++ (and he may have done that already, I haven't looked
recently), I'll be more than happy to look at adding trying to add wxWindows
to Euphoria. Until then, it seems a pointless project to pursue.
And I've never had an issue with a Windows-based installer. In fact, I'd even
written a version of the installer *using* Inno Setup, with Euphoria code
modifying AUTOEXEC.BAT, and suggested to Robert he use something like that.
At the time, Robert thought that the 400K hit was too much of a tradeoff.

I don't follow the argument. In each of these cases, one thing is followed by
something substantially *different*. C is obviously not assembly.
In contrast, what benefit is there to writing a Euphoria installer? It
doesn't invent anything new, it just recreates something that already exists.
That's what I mean by reinventing the wheel.
> I think it sucks and leans toward the attitude of half-A**ing somthing.
Inno Setup certainly isn't a half-assed program, so I'm not sure what sort of
'somthing' you're referring to. Besides, it *does* execute Euphoria code as
part of the install, it's just hidden from the user.
The user really doesn't care what the installer is written in. Plus, if the
installer is written in Euphoria and has a bug, you create a bad impression,
right off the bat. And with so many different configurations of Windows out
there, the odds are pretty good that's going to happen. Inno Setup has been
tested on a lot of platforms by a lot of people - something that a Euphoria
installer won't have, no matter how well it's written.
I just don't see this as an issue.

12. Re: New Install Program
Ok I've a new twist on Installer. It installed fine on Win98 directly
from my download folder. In order to transfer to my other machine, an
XP, I copied the install exe to a floppy. But I can't read the install
exe, copy it, delete it or even reformat my floppy. I get an Window's
Explorer error. I try another floppy, thinking this one was bad, with
the same result. I return to the Win98 and try to read the floppy. Same
problem. It tells me a little more than XP did: there is a read
violation which takes down Window's explorer and erases my Window's
Desktop.
Interesting? But 2 floppies in the trash and I don't know if the
Installer will work on XP.

Exactly ! "doesn't invent anything new" but to Euphoria it would be NEW.

"attitude of half-A**ing" I think we've already touched that base

I'm guessing that you didn't completely reach the very last
screen and close the installer, before you tried to copy the
.exe. As to why your Desktop was erased, you better ask Bill Gates.
The installer .exe is just a file. It's not magical in any way.

Good.

Don't do that.

It's strange that it could find graphics.e in d:\euphoria\include,
but it couldn't find misc.e in the same directory. Did you
hard code the full path to graphics.e in your include statement?
The "...or in euphoria\include" part of the message
is a bit sloppy on my part. I should really use the
EUDIR path in forming the error message. I'll fix that.

Beginning to sound like a hardware problem with the keyboard or mouse. Once had
an intermittent 'left-shift' key that
would do the strangest things, including occasional 'crash-on-boot'.
Watch the right Explorer pane while using up/down arrow keys to see if groups
are occasionally being selected, or
unwanted 'caps' while typing.

OK for Win98 SE Czech. I think you might also add links to Documentation,
Demos and/or to the Euphoria directory to the Start menu.
