Run executable after MSI installer script generator
Wow that title is a mouthful!
As the title says this is a script generator for the script found here.
Basically this script is used to give the user the option to run an executable after the installation of your program completes.
I created this generator in order to solve the issue of typos which is the cause of probably 95% of the errors people experience with this script.
You can download the latest version here.
I have made a lot of changes since I first uploaded my Android SDK installer script.
- Downloads of the Android SDK will (always) get the latest version of the SDK making the script an effective upgrade tool.
- Optionally can choose to install Eclipse through apt-get (Preferred)
- Better error checking
- All around goodness :)
A little something I’ve been working on.
This is a bash script which can be used to easily install the latest Android SDK, Eclipse, and Open JDK on Ubuntu or any Linux variant that supports apt-get.
To use the script download the source document then with a terminal enter this code.
chmod +x <path to script goes here>
sudo ./<path to script file goes here>
Then just follow the prompts.
Please report any bugs and also feel free to fork my repo and make any changes you’d like!
UPDATE: Version 1.4 had a pretty nasty upgrade bug that caused the app to not start! This bug along with the theme bug from 1.4 have both been fixed in 1.41.
If you did install version 1.4 DO NOT UNINSTALL THE APP! Doing so will remove all app data, in other words ALL YOUR LOGS! Simply install 1.41 and this should resolve the issues in 1.4 :)
What’s in this version:
- Bug Fixes
- Cleaned up
- Theme choosing! (Requires app relaunch)
- Entries can now have titles!
- Ability to strikeout an entry rather than delete it.
- Select which date/time is shown on logs screen (Creation date/time or last change)
- Entry View screen displays entries last changed date/time.
UPDATE! v1.31 has been release which resolves a bug with the entry types settings prompt.
This release was mostly for bug fixes but also includes a couple of usability changes. Details in the change log below.
Change Log:
- Fixed bug in entry types settings where if the user renamed an entry type, entries which had been assigned that entry type were not being updated with the new entry type.
- Fixed entry type selection on edit entry screen.
- Prompt user when deleting an entry type that is assigned to entries.
- More options on entry edit screen when hitting the back button.
- Added settings option to all menus.
- Initial entry type prompt on edit entry screen brings up new entry type dialog.
Eww a bug! (UPDATE!)
Oops! Just discovered a bug in ChangeLogs’ entry types. Entries don’t update when an entry type is changed/removed! Other entry data is safe and you can update the entry type by editing the entry and selecting a new entry type.
Next update should be very soon and will include a fix for this unfortunate mishap :)
Update: So it appears that this bug is a bit worse than I thought! It appears that when editing a previous entry that the automatic selection of its entry type isn’t working after changing/deleting an entry type… :(
It appears that the entry type is still there just not being selected :\
But fear not! Both bugs will be fixed in the next version of ChangeLogs :)
What’s in this version:
- Switched edit screen entry type selection to use radio buttons to make it clearer which entry type is selected.
- Using menu button for saving changes in edit screen now.
- Switch some fonts to be less BOLD
- Changed back button behavior on edit screen to prompt the user to save changes rather than just saving them.
- App2SD Support
